Never think that you need to protect God. Because anytime you think you need to protect God, you can be sure that you are worshipping an idol.
Stanley Hauerwas
This is mad deep. Many people of faith may sometimes feel a reflexive need to defend their religion from perceived attacks. These reflexes often lead to an overreaction to the perceived attacks. Reminding ourselves about how quickly we can create idols out of our faiths is a sobering thought.
