"The results of reflection are both dangerous and unforeseeable because one can never tell whether the decision which saves a man from evil is reached after thorough consideration, or whether it is simply the exhaustion resulting from reflection which prevents him from doing wrong."

About the Author
I just completed a dystopian science fiction novel. I run a website which I created that connects farms with churches, mosques, and synagogues to buy fresh vegetables directly and distribute them on a sliding scale to those in need.
In 2003, I spent six months in prison for civil disobedience while working to close the School of the Americas, converting to Christianity, as one does, while I was in the clink.
This strikes me as a commentary on the conservative half of Christianity, who, at times, can lack concrete ministries that care for the body and work for social justice. Prayer can serve as a replacement for engagement with the messy "politics" that surround injustice.
Or the intellectual, of course.
