Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.

More quotes by Peter Kreeft
The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.
Peter Kreeft
No culture in history has ever embraced moral relativism and survived. Our own culture, therefore, will either (1) be the first, and disprove history's clearest lesson, or (2) persist in its relativism and die, or (3) repent of its relativism and live. There is no other option.
Peter Kreeft
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.
Peter Kreeft
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter Kreeft
The block of marble is not the sculptor, and doesn't see that he's about to become a masterpiece... We're the block of marble and God is the sculptor, and the chisel is.... everything.
Peter Kreeft
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
Peter Kreeft
You have an evil twin who is always with you. He is called your ego.
Peter Kreeft
Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
Peter Kreeft
The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Being a Christian is more like having your soul possessed by a spirit than having your mind clothed with new beliefs... It is like being haunted by the Holy Ghost.
Peter Kreeft
If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.
Peter Kreeft
When a maniac is at the door, feuding brothers reconcile.
Peter Kreeft
The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Modern Americans make the same mistake but judge neither.
Peter Kreeft
Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.
Peter Kreeft
Joy is not a feeling in us. Joy does not enter into us. We enter into joy: Enter into the joy of your Lord (Mt 25:21).
Peter Kreeft
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.
Peter Kreeft
How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning.
Peter Kreeft
Great saints are never wimps.
