War is a blessing compared with national degradation.

It highlights the belief that preserving the integrity and dignity of a nation supersedes the immense human suffering and tragedy that war inevitably brings.

As science advances, there seems to be less and less for God

As science advances, there seems to be less and less for God to do. It's a big universe, of course, so He, She, or It, could be profitably employed in many places. But what has clearly been happening is that evolving before our eyes has been a God of the Gaps; that is, whatever it is we cannot explain lately is attributed to God.
