1 " This is the world of polytheism: it knows no overall truth and order, only fragments and limited connections in the shambles of time and space. Polytheism is a fact of cultural decay and collapse. "
― Rousas John Rushdoony , Christianity and the State
2 " A key fact, thus, of polytheism is that at best the area and scope of meaning is severely limited. There is no universal scope, sway, or meaning in the world of polytheism, except by imperialistic aggression. From Alexander the Great to the present, the world of polytheism has no means of a common truth and order except by imperialistic conquest. In such a world, neither order nor meaning have a universal sway; hence, force tries to bind those factors which are held to lack the cohesiveness of truth and a common creator. "
3 " The philosophy of statism is anti-Christian to the core. The necessity of our day is not political action but a return to a biblical faith. On any but a biblical doctrine of man, the state increases its power and plays the role of god and savior over man. "
