The Screwtape Letters + ?

  • "...the deadly serious passions of envy, self importance and resentment"

  • Disappointment and anticlimax occur on the threshold of every human endeavour : " the transition from dreaming aspiration to labourous doing"

  • "Indeed, the safest road to Hell is the gradual one- the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts"

  • "If i being what i am, can consider that i am in some sense a Christian, why should the different vices of those people in the next pew prove that their religion is mere hypocrisy and convention?"

  • "..not to what i think thou art, but to what thou knowest thyself to be"

The Screwtape letters - C.S Lewis



..and so i ran away and ran and ran and
ran right smack into the Unavoidable that is You

and then i started to question and questioned and questioned and
questioned right back to the origin of of all questions and answers- You


and then logic directed my understanding, and directed and directed and
directed untill the point where it was logical that i could no longer come to any irrefutable understanding or continue any furthur debate- the point where You start to be greater than any possible human understanding.
The place where faith steps in and continues where logic lefts off - "Faith without logic is blind faith- Logic without faith is attempted rationalization"
"If my God was a God that we could fully fanthom and understand- He wouldnt be much of a God."


but yet i still seek universal Truths and seek and
seek and refuse to concede defeat in face of the apparent logic that we will never fully understand for questions are motivated by love and desire to understand You better-
which is evidently what You intend- so should we get answers?

And so in the search for Truth i go around in circles, for logically speaking, any logical conclusions we come up with on our own is open to reasonable doubt based on the truth that your "thoughts are higher than our thoughts, ways higher that our ways".

And thus i circle and circle and circle right back to the beginning and the ending that is You.
