“People with promise, people dependent and depended upon, people loving and beloved, one after another, in a line, in a river, no fount and no outlet, a long bright river of departed souls.”

“God is the sovereign because He literally owns everything. Human ownership of any kind, including the absolutely unencumbered ownership of property, is merely metaphorical and ultimately unreal. It is at best derivative of the original state of sovereign ownership. (This explains, for instance, why in Islam the care for the poor is legislated as “their right” against the wealth of the well-to-do, since the wealth of the latter is God’s, and God’s compassion is first and foremost bestowed on the poor, the orphans, and the wretched of the earth.) If the physical world in its entirety is derivative, then it cannot have any real form of original possession, including possession of a law or a moral code. It is God therefore who is the sole Legislator, and it is with Him and Him alone that sovereignty and sovereign will lies.”

“Let us come to the point now. It would be nice to hold on to the common belief that the UFOs are craft from a superior space-civilization, because this is a hypothesis science fiction has made widely acceptable, and because we are not altogether unprepared, scientifically and even, perhaps, militarily, to deal with such visitors. Unfortunately, however, the theory that flying saucers are material objects from outer space manned by a race originating on some other planet is not a complete answer. However strong the current belief in saucers from space, it cannot be stronger than the Celtic faith in the elves and the fairies, or the medieval belief in lutins, or the fear throughout the Christian lands, in the first centuries of our era, of demons and satyrs and fauns. Certainly, it cannot be stronger than the faith that inspired the writers of the Bible—a faith rooted in daily experiences with angelic visitation.”
