David Given Schwarm

The modern world, which denies personal guilt and has no place for personal repentance but only public reforms, has divorced Christ from His Cross; the Bridegroom and Bride have been pulled apart. What God has joined together, men have torn asunder.

The new atheism is not of the intellect but of the will; it is an act of free and eager rejection of morality and its demands. It starts with the affirmation of self and the denial of the moral law.
