“Grace is wildly irreligious stuff.

It’s more than enough to get God kicked out of the God union that the theologians have formed to keep him on his divine toes so he won’t let the riffraff off Scot-free.

Sensible people, of course, should only need about thirty seconds of careful thought to realize that getting off Scot-free is the only way any of us is going to get off at all.”

— Robert Farrar Capon, The Romance of the Word
