Screwtape 마귀가 reveals 드러내다 a powerful 강력한 tool 도구를 for distraction 교란을 위한:
[What we want], if men become Christians at all, is [to keep them in the state of mind () I call ‘Christianity And]’.
You know—Christianity and the Crisis, Christianity and the New Psychology, Christianity and the New Order,
Christianity and Faith Healing, Christianity and Psychical Research, Christianity and Vegetarianism,
Christianity and Spelling Reform.
If they must be Christians let [them] [at least be Christians with a difference].
Substitute /for the faith itself [some Fashion with a Christian colouring].
Work on their horror of the Same Old Thing.
The horror of the Same Old Thing is one of the most valuable passions () we have produced in the human heart
—an endless source of heresies in religion, folly in counsel, infidelity in marriage, and inconstancy in friendship.
The humans live /in time, and experience reality /successively.
To experience much of it, therefore, they must experience many different things;
in other words, they must experience change.
And since they need change,
the Enemy (being a hedonist at heart) has made change pleasurable to them, just as He has made eating pleasurable.
But since He does not wish them to make change, any more than eating, an end in itself,
He has balanced the love of change /in them /by a love of permanence.
He has contrived to gratify both tastes together in the very world () He has made,
by that union of change and permanence //which we call Rhythm.
He gives them the seasons, each season different yet every year the same,
so that spring is always felt /as a novelty /yet always as the recurrence of an immemorial theme.
He gives them in His Church a spiritual year; they change /from a fast to a feast, but it is the same feast as before.
