"When young people have question and answer periods: so many times, usually they have the same questions. And it generally boils down to this with a lot of them - How much like the world can I be and still be a Christian? How much of this world can I enjoy and still go to heaven? How near the precipous can I walk without going over? Instead of asking how much like the Lord can I be and how little like the world, it amounts to this, and old people are the same way, they just never put it that way. The point really is, how much of the world can I incorporate into my program and still get to heaven? ... Now there was a time when sin shocked us... As the brainwashing progresses, what once amazed us only amusing us - we laugh at the shaded joke, and unfortunately the tragedy has become comedy in America. We're laugh at things today we ought to cry about. It's the strategy of tolerance and acceptance and [this] permissiveness. ... {and talking gray...} And nothing's definition - everything's definite today! Black and white have become smudged into indefinite directions."
