Peter Kreeft
Image
The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.

We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
Peter Kreeft

Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.
