“Sin, whether it is in the child or in the man represents a revolt against maturity, because the image of God as it is in man, and as it was given to Adam is one of maturity, knowledge, holiness, righteousness, dominion, and man does not want to acknowledge that he, as a person created in this image of maturity, is rebelling against maturing and willfully choosing to be a child, and therefore to excuse his sins.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
