Rules Quotes

Ultimately, however, there is no absolute good or bad, no timeless right or wrong, only that which does or does not advance our (i.e. God's) existential purpose.

Consider how the sex act can be a crime or a consummation of love, depending solely on the context in which it is performed.

But that's not all the law is. The law is also memory; the law also records a long-running conversation, a nation arguing with its conscience.
