C.S. Lewis quote-of-the-week

“Some of us who seem quite nice people may, in fact, have made so little use of a good heredity and a good upbringing that we are really worse than those whom we regard as fiends.”

--Mere Christianity, book 3, ch. 4

This gets to the vital principle that God holds us accountable for what we have been given-- in terms of knowledge, gifts, and so on. That complicates matters considerably in trying to judge things from a human perspective. But it is no surprising given a just God who created a complex world.
