" God hates this wishful dreaming because it makes the dreamer proud and pretentious. Those who dream of this idealized community demand that it be fulfilled by God, by others, and by themselves. They enter the community of Christians with their demands, set up their own law, and judge one another and even God accordingly. "

Dietrich Bonhoeffer , Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Vol 5)
