- To have "nearly all vices rooted in the future" means that all one's thoughts are placed in the future. A person can never truly live in the present if they are placing all their concentration in future things that have not yet happened. Screwtape gives examples of Creative Evolution, Scientific Humanism, and Communism that are all things humans fixated in the future spend their time thinking about. Many people today spend their whole lives thinking on the previous three examples and they are not truly living in the present. A vice is a wicked or immoral practice or habit taken up by someone. To have "nearly all vices rooted in the future" means that wicked and bad things all come from placing one's thoughts on the future things to come.
2. Describe your ideal church
- My ideal church would be one where believers from all backgrounds can come together in harmony to praise and worship God. A church with a pastor who has a good grasp on scripture and is able to interpret and share confusing passages with church members, and help them understand God's word much better than they would on their own. My ideal church would provide Sunday School for small children and teens who want to learn more about God in smaller group settings. The music would be a mix of hymns and more modern Christian music. People would wear nice clothes, not just jeans and a t-shirt to church.
