Don't confuse longstanding /lit/izens with summer Deus Vult posters.

>But this much can be said, the developing Christian consciousness is one which is activistic, antimystical, antimetaphysical, which eschews well-defined and concrete forms, and which tends to identify itself with active, progressive, even revolutionary, movements that are the on the way but that have not yet reached any kind of clear definition.
>In this context, then, the concept of a self as a very present, very concrete center of decision has considerable importance. It matters very much what you are thinking, saying, doing, deciding, here and now. It matters very much what your current commitments now, whom you are with, whom you are against, where you claim to be going, what button you wear, whom you vote for - all of this is important. This is obviously proper to men of action who feel that there are old structures to be torn down and new ones to be built. But from such men we must not expect either patience with or understanding of mysticism. They will be foredoomed, by their very type of consciousness, to reject it as irrelevant and even Un-Christian. Meanwhile we may wonder if what they are developing is not simply a new, more fluid, less doctrinal kind of conformism! (Zen and The Birds of Appetite, 29).
Quite prescient wouldn't you say?
