Judgment in history falls heaviest on those who come to think themselves gods, who fly the in the face of Providence and history, who put their trust in man-made systems and worship the work of their own hands, and who say that the strength of their own right arm gave them the victory.

Judgment on Those Who Think Themselves Gods

Irreligion is the Opium of the People
It is only by believing in God that we can criticize the Government. Once abolish God, and the Government becomes God. The truth is that irreligion is the opium of the people. Wherever the people do not believe in something beyond the world, they will worship the world. But, above all, they worship the strongest thing in the world.
G. K. Chesterton, Christendom in Dublin. Cited by Os Guinness, Impossible People, pg.14
