Frank Schaeffer:

The only reason why I still place my hope in God is that I had the good fortune to abandon a position of leadership in the evangelical/fundamentalist world when I was still young enough to make a new life ... And conversations became conversations rather than evangelical ploys, as I discovered that other people -- even though they might not be like me and might have ideas opposite to mine -- sometimes actually have something to say, when you're not just waiting to pounce and deliver a "spiritual" coup de grĂ¢ce. 

Patience With God, p. 146-147
