• Mr. Marx does not believe in God, but he believes deeply in himself. His heart is filled not with love but with rancor.

• Only a law-order which holds to the primacy of God's law can bring forth true freedom, freedom for justice, truth, and godly life. Freedom as an absolute is simply an assertion of man's "right" to be his own god; this means a radical denial of God's law-order. "Freedom" thus is another name for the claim by man to divinity and autonomy. It means that man becomes his own absolute.

  R.J. Rushdoony

Eternity! thou pleasing, dreadful thought!
