"For they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

Dr. Sanity has been blogging about the seven deadly sins of narcissism, as exhibited by the people on the political left. She quotes author C.S. Lewis
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."


Dr. Sanity is performing an incredibly useful service in explaining to us the thinking patterns of those on the left who are now in power in America.

Even sincerely religious people can get it wrong. I guess that's one big reason I was initially attracted to Mormonisn (I've grown in my testimony since then) is that they talk about freedom and choice as the basics of life no matter the circumstances.
