“Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”
-”Screwtape,” a senior demon speaking to his understudy, ”Wormwood,” in C.S. Lewis‘ masterpiece, The Screwtape Letters. (The aforementioned “Enemy” in “Screwtape’s” eyes is, of course, God Himself.)
