The supreme need of the world today is for a true conception and a deeper knowledge of God. The Hindu mother tosses her baby to the crocodiles, the devout pilgrim mutilates his body, the pious monk retires to the wilderness, the martial Moslem massacres the unbelieving, the consecrated missionary lays down his life for his enemy all of these deeds are founded on varying conceptions of God.
Machinery mutilates people today, even if it also feeds them.
The teaching of BASIC should be rated as a criminal offence: it mutilates the mind beyond recovery.
