"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." -pg. 240
There are so many quotes in this chapter that I could've used. What bugged me the most was all the talk about how this new world treats God. Yes, they treat him as unexistant, but they blame that on Him. Are they serious? Mustapha says, "People believe in God because they've been conditioned to believe in God." While that might be true for some families, it's not wholly true. People believe in God because they have the option. This world, however, takes away that option. There is no such mention of His name, or any mention of his possible existance. By them taking away the mention of God, they're taking away the power of choice. Of course they do that in many aspects, but this one is a huge one. John wants choice, and anything or any suffering that might come from it.
