“The real trouble about the
       set your patient is living in is
                that it is merely
       Christian...What we want, if
        men become Christians at
          all, is to keep them in a
             state of mind I call
             ‘Christianity And’.”
Thursday, August 11, 11
“If they must be Christians let
  them at least be Christians
with a difference. Substitute for
 the faith itself some Fashion
with a Christian coloring. Work
 on their horror of the Same
           Old Thing.”

“The horror of the Same Old
    Thing is one of the most
   valuable passions we have
 produced in the human heart...
   He [God] has balanced the
  love of change in them by a
     love of permanence.”

sins
      “...just as we pick out and
     exaggerate the pleasure of
    eating to produce gluttony, so
       we pick out this natural
     pleasantness of change and
      twist it into a demand for
            absolute novelty.”

marketing dissatisfaction
Thursday, August 11, 11
“Only by our incessant
      efforts is the demand for
       infinite, or unrhyhmical,
    change kept up... it diminishes
      pleasure while increasing
                desire.”

“The game is to have them all
        running about with fire
    extinguishers whenever there
    is a flood, and all crowding to
    that side of the boat which is
        already nearly gunwale
                under.”

                                          lose focus?




Thursday, August 11, 11
“...the greatest triumph of all
       is to elevate this horror of
        the Same Old Thing into a
      philosophy so that nonsense
      in the intellect may reinforce
          corruption in the will.”
                          (rationalizing a focus on fashion?)

                                          It’s easy to be distracted and choose distraction

How can we
                            maintain focus
                                  &
                          avoid distraction?

“The Enemy [God] loves
      platitudes. Of a proposed
     course of action He wants
    men, as far as I can see, to ask
     very simple questions; is it
    righteous? is it prudent? is it
              possible?”
Thursday, August 11, 11
“...if we can keep men asking
       ‘Is it in accordance with the
         general movement of our
          time? Is it progressive or
        reactionary? Is this the way
        that History is going?’ they
           will neglect the relevant
                  questions.”
Thursday, August 11, 11
what are the simple
                              questions?

                          what are the prudent
                               questions?
         (which help us maintain focus & avoid distraction)
