All human conflict is ultimately theological.
— Cardinal Henry Manning

Gnosticism or Gnostic Dualism
Body vs. Mind

Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.
— C.S. Lewis

There is no doubt that from the first moments of its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being.
— Peter Singer, Practical Ethics 2nd Ed.

The only way the state can legalize abortion is to deny the relevance of biology and declare that some biological humans are not persons. The state has taken on itself the authority to decide which humans qualify for the status of personhood, defined in terms of mental abilities – the capacity to think, feel, and desire.
— Nancy Pearcey

With us, for instance, human sacrifice is not legal, but unholy, whereas the Carthaginians perform it as a thing they account holy and legal.
— Plato

Abortion is the most sacrosanct right.
— Cory Booker

It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one. It is time to stop being defensive about it, time to point an accusatory finger at the other camp and denounce its own immoral stance.
Abortion is a sacrifice to Artemis. Abortion is a sacrament for the gift of life to remain pure. Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore abortion to its sacred dimension, which is both terrible and necessary.
— Ginette Paris

Abortion is the demonic parody of the eucharist. That's why it uses the same holy words. This is my body. But with the opposite blasphemous meaning.
— Peeter Kreeft

Like the German extermination initiatives, these laws expand every time they are tried. The debate begins with those near death, quickly expands to those who are terminal, then to those with incurable disease, then to those with permanent conditions, then to the disabled, and finally to the depressed and mentally ill. First, consent is required. Then, it is implied. Finally, it is unnecessary.
— John Stonestreet

Fate, not God, has given us this flesh. We have absolute claim to our bodies and may do with them as we see fit.
— Camille Paglia

The only way the law can treat same-sex parents the same as opposite-sex parents is to deny the relevance of biology and declare parenthood to be a state of mind toward the child - what you think, feel, and desire. The state is taking on itself the authority to define what a parent is, and who qualifies as one.
— Nancy Pearcey

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
— Voltaire

Just tolerate it.
Just accept it.
Just celebrate it.
Just participate in it.

Who I am and what I am is not my body.
— Rainn Wilson

I went with a variation of Baphomet for this design, a deity who themself is a mixture of genders, beings, ideas, and existences. They reject binary stereotypes and expectations.
— Designer for Abprallen

The whole idea of a "species" is a biological concept. What we are doing is transcending biology.
— Ray Kurzweil

The inner life of the soul is expressed through the outer life of the body. This is highlighted through the parallelism characteristic of Hebrew poetry.
— Nancy Pearcey

Psalm 63:1

BSB

1 O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

BSB

Psalms 44:25

BSB

25 For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.

BSB

Proverbs 4:20-22

BSB

20 My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not lose sight of them; keep them within your heart.
22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to the whole body.

BSB

Psalms 32:3

BSB

3 When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

BSB

Humanism is the proclaimed and practiced autonomy of man from any higher force above him.
— Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

I use the word 'humanist' to mean someone who believes that man is just as much a natural phenomenon as an animal or plant; that his body, mind and soul were not supernaturally created but are products of evolution, and that he is not under the control or guidance of any supernatural being or beings, but has to rely on himself and his own powers.
— Julan Huxley

Passages in your book... Greatly shocked my moral taste... There is a moral or metaphysical part of nature as well as a physical. A man who denies this is deep in the mire of folly. Tis the grown and glory of organic science that it does, thro' final cause, link material to moral; you have ignored this link; and, if I do not mistake your meaning, you have done your best in one or two pregnant cases to break it- were it possibly (which, thank God, it is not) to break it, humanity, in my mind, would suffer a damage that might brutalize it, and sink the human race into a lower grade of degradation that any into which it has fallen since its written records tell us of its history.
— Adam Sedgwick

I have no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality.
— Francis Galton

The number among the negroes of those whom we should call half-witted men is very large... Mistakes the negroes made in their matters were so childish, stupid and simpleton-like, as frequently to make me ashamed of my own species.
— Francis Galton

Psalms 115:8

BSB

8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

BSB

When a civilization turns idolatrous, its people are profoundly changed by that experience. In a kind of reverse sanctification, the idolater is transformed into the likeness of the object of his worship.
— Herbert Schlossberg

Bloodthirsty gods produce bloodthirsty people. If someone thinks that chance rules the universe, his actions are likely to appear random. If people increasingly think that malevolence rules... We can expect more human sacrifice. If there is a decline in the number of people who believe that God is love, we can expect fewer who think that actions of love are moral imperatives. For any individual or society, therefore, the religious questions are the ultimate ones that govern human conduct, whether they believe it or not.
— Herbert Schlossberg

We fought a civil war to end the practice of buying and selling people, and we're bringing it back in the name of progress.
— Katy Faust

For the power of man to make himself what he pleases, means, as we have seen, the power of some men to make other men what they please....
What we call man's power over nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with nature as its instrument.
— C.S. Lewis

The alternative creation story the left is seeking to create with abortion, transgenderism, and transhumanism in particular will not stop or rest until they also remake you in their own image.

Unless a man becomes the enemy of an evil, he will not even become its slave but rather its champion.
— G.K. Chesterton

Moral anarchy is always the prelude to statist tyranny. This vaunted freedom from law ends always in a freedom from liberty.
— R.J. Rushdoony

In keeping silent about evil, and burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.
— Aleksander Solzhenitsyn

Each of these kings ultimately failed, despite their good works and good intentions, because they did not utterly destroy the idols of the land. And, bit by bit, the idolatry eroded their culture until one day it completely destroyed it.
— Dr. George Grant
