If economies collapse and lawlessness rules and resources are scarce, many people who claim with their mouths that they follow Jesus… will abandon him with their lives.

In a world like this with no laws, no charter of human rights, it’s the women who suffer. It’s the women who learn what it is to be tough, not the men.

Whatever thing a man gets quickly enraged about is his idol, and whatever thing he makes his idol becomes his religion.

The laws governed people’s happiness. To be lawless was to be happy.
