Using the Wrong Gas - Thoughts from C S Lewis
"God made us: invented us as a man invents a machine.
A car is made to run on petrol, and will not run properly on anything else.
God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn.
There is no other.
That is the key to history.
Terrific energy is expended - civilizations are built up - excellent institutions are devised; but each time something goes wrong.
Some fatal flaw always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top and it all slides back into misery and run.
In fact, the engine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards and the it breaks down.
They are trying to run on the wrong juice.
That is what Satan has done to us humans."
-- From Mere Christianity
