"Collectivism takes on many guises and seldom uses its own real name. Words like 'community' and 'social' soothe us into thinking that collectivist decision-making is somehow higher and nobler than individual or 'selfish' decision-making. But the cold fact is that communities do not make decisions. Individuals who claim to speak for the community impose their decisions on us all."

And so everything to do with the faith is trying to put you in relationship with God and trying to make that relationship grow deeper and more mature.”

This is why it's hard to lead a successful life (whatever that means to you) when you don't know what you want.”
