More From Francis Schaeffer

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

A christian is not a person who believes in his head the teachings of the bible. satan believes in his head the teachings of the bible! a christian is a person who has died with christ, whose stiff neck has been broken, whose brazen forehead has been shattered, whose stony heart has been crushed, whose pride has been slain, and whose life is now mastered by jesus christ.

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

Labor produces marvels for the rich but it produces deprivation for the worker. it produces palaces, but hovels for the worker. it produces beauty, but deformity for the worker. it replaces labor by machines, but it throws one section of the workers back to barbaric labor, and it turns the remainder into machines.

The great task demanded of man is reproduction. he is urged by passion to perform this task. passion, working through the imagination, produces love. passion is the impelling factor, imagination the disturbing factor; and the disturbance of passion by imagination produces love.

My deeply held belief is that if a god of anything like the traditional sort exists, our curiosity and intelligence is provided by such a god. we would be unappreciative of that gift if we suppressed our passion to explore the universe and ourselves.

Without passions you have no experience whatever.

Democracy is no easy form of government. few nations have been able to sustain it. for it requires that we take the chances of freedom; that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear on events filled with passion; that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance; that men chance error in their search for the truth.
Passion Acceptance Men
It is folly to pretend that one ever wholly recovers from a disappointed passion. such wounds always leave a scar. there are faces i can never look upon without emotion, there are names i can never hear spoken without almost starting.
