Two quotes actually...
"One reason [atheist, Albert] Camus's writing is so powerful is that he refuses to try to explain the suffering of the innocent. Instead his response is to be morally enraged and to try and do something to stop it. I think this is the response God wants from people" (p. 16).
"As a generalization, it seems safe to say that Americans prefer Wal-Mart to libraries, Big Macs to big ideas, and TV to education. This worries me, and I find that for whatever reason, many atheists, like Greg share my concerns" (p. 18).
