Yes a very nice quote.

“They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. “

“THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS SPREAD UPON THE EARTH BUT MEN DO NOT SEE IT.” Jesus

I also also believe the reason Men do not see Heaven is because they prefer to see and live in Hell. We all have a choice to live in Hell or Heaven.

I choose Heaven.

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

Robert Jastrow

C.S. Lewis is worth reading in his entirety, fiction and non-fiction alike. He saw and understood the problems of the modern world long before many others did.

When I first saw that quote TR immediately came to mind. Then I saw it was Lewis.

Lewis’ “tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims” is itself a relic of a (comparably) more kindly era. The demonic twits infesting our world today are not looking to redeem anyone.

How could she have thought him young? Or old either ? It came over her that this face was of no age at all. She had, or so she had believed, disliked bearded faces except for old men. But that was because she had long since forgotten the imagined Arthur of her childhood -and the imagined Solomon too. Solomon . . . for the first time in many years the bright solar blend of king and lover and magician which hangs about that name stole back upon her mind. For the first time in all those years she tasted the word King itself with all its linked associations of battle, marriage, priesthood, mercy, and power. -- C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength
