Status Updates From God in the Dock

"There will be progress in Christian knowledge only as long as we accept the challenge of the difficult or repellent doctrines. A liberal Christianity which considers itself free to alter the faith whenever the faith looks perplexing or repellent, must be completely stagnant. Progress is only made into a resisting material."

"The great difficulty is to get modern audiences to realize that you are preaching christianity solely and simply because you happen to think it true; they always suppose you are preaching it because you like it or you think it good for society or something of that sort."
