Our sense of fairness tells us that people should pay for the wrong they do.

Common sense suggests that if no one ever judged other people, there would be no real human community.

When we have been badly injured and clearly wronged, we make an instant caricature of the person who did it to us. We define him totally by the one wrong he did.

God is not a doormat, nor should anyone else be a doormat.

God does not give us salvation because we believe. Our believing is only the normal way of receiving the salvation he freely gives.

Nobody sees reality whole; we all need others to show us the parts of it that they see better than we do. Nobody sees reality with total accuracy; we all need others to correct our own vision.
