“Economic man and the Calvinist Christian sing to each other like voices in a fugue. The Calvinist stands alone before an almost merciless God; no human agency can help him; his church is a means to political and social organization rather than a bridge to deity, for no priest can have greater knowledge of the divine way than he himself; no friend can console him - in fact, he should distrust all men; in the same fashion, Economic Man faces a merciless world alone and unaided, his hand against every other's.” MenWorldWayShouldHumansMeanFactsHelpingHandsChristianFacesPoliticalSocialVoiceChurchGreaterEconomicFashionDivineOrganizationBridgesAgencyPriestsDistrustDeitiesConsoleStand AloneNo FriendsSocial OrganizationFugue Author:Lionel Trilling

The bridge between man and the unknown God is not worshipping but it is science, only the science!” MenGivingKindDoeScienceChurchPathBillionsGuiltyBridgesSanctuaryMosques Author:Mehmet Murat Ildan
“I understand that what I am to do is to be a bridge between the people who would never set foot in a church in their entire lives and people who would like to get them there.
