Dangerous Virtues Quotes

“gross insensitivity. In some cases, it removes many of the thoughts and practices that were once called sins from the category of sin altogether. They are choices, alternative lifestyles, or if they are negative, simply mistakes. The fatal flaw in this perspective is its exclusion of God. It is the same flaw that has corrupted our notion of virtue. Where there is no God, there is no sin. Where there is no God, there is no virtue, either. There are only privately or commonly held standards. What renders an action a sin is that it is ultimately committed against God.”
