“To believe that a world such as exists around us today, that is anti-God to the core, that denies the word of God, that says it will establish its own do-it-yourself law, that will make man ultimate, to believe such a world can prosper and succeed, is to deny that God is God. It is to declare that man can establish an area of autonomy and independence from God in which he can build an anti-God culture and get away from it.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
