“… we cannot choose freedom. There are two states of being: submission to God and goodness or the refusal to submit to anything beyond one’s own will—which refusal automatically enslaves one to the forces of evil. We must ultimately belong either to God or the devil.” M Scott Peck in Glimpses of the Devil
“There is not neutral ground in the universe: every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan.” C. S. Lewis in Christianity and culture. quoted by Peck in Glimpses of the Devil
