“the best existential analysis of the human condition leads directly into the problems of God and faith”

“Fiction is a solution, the best solution, to the problem of existential solitude.”

“Foolishness is the human condition, and exactly what God handles best.”

“Morality, for all the conditioning to which the human mind has been and is subjected, is always a personal choice in the last analysis.”

“What has happened to create this doubt is that a problem (such as a deep conflict or a bad experience) has been allowed to usurp God's place and become the controlling principle of life. Instead of viewing the problem from the vantage point of faith, the doubter views faith from the vantage point of the problem. Instead of faith sizing up the problem, the situation ends with the problem scaling down faith. The world of faith is upside down, and in the topsy-turvy reality of doubt, a problem has become god and God has become a problem.”

“Over analysis leads to paralysis”
