Quote of the Day (John C. Bennett, on God and Man’s Freedom)

“All teaching about God that by implication denies the freedom of man or downgrades him, and especially all teaching about God that downgrades some men, leaving them a less than human role, must be renounced. Often in the past, God has been seen as the great preserver of the status quo, which was organized for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. But today, God is with the revolutionary efforts to raise the many to a position of human dignity and hope.”—John C. Bennett, “In Defense of God,” Look, April 19, 1966
