Transforming The Fortress into A Country Seat

"Imagine a fortress, absolutely impregnable, provisioned for an eternity. There comes a new commandant. He conceives that it might be a good idea to build bridges over the moats--so as to be able to attack the besiegers. Charming! He transforms the fortress into a country seat, and naturally the enemy takes it. So it is with Christianity. They changed the method--and naturally the world conquered."

-Soren Kierkegaard, Attack Upon “Christendom"
