“I know it has a grand sound to say ye’ll accept no salvation which leaves even one creature in the dark outside. But watch that sophistry or you’ll make a Dog in a Manger the tyrant of the universe.”

Potent statement by C. S. Lewis.

I am curious about the context you were thinking of when you posted it - it isn't obviously clear to me. Are you saying we shouldn't be tolerant of free speech, even if offensive because that would be the sophistry Lewis speaks of?

Just saying that when we jump to accommodate everyone who feels “offended”, we make the sensitive and the whiners and the professional agitators the tyrants of the universe.
