"The old pagans had to choose between a brilliant, jangling, irresponsible, chaotic universe, alive with lawless powers, and the serene and ordered universe of God and law. We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the gray, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, not by denying God, but by losing interest in him."
Joy Davidman, wife of CS Lewis, in "Smoke on the Mountain," a commentary on the 10 Commandments.
