Two Errors
Our high school students are reading through Mere Christianity right now, and I came upon this note at the end of one of Lewis’ chapters:
[The Devil] always sends errors into the world in pairs–pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse. You see why, of course? He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.
… And, honestly, all I could think about was Republicans and Democrats.
