We have resisted the temptation to position the (EU) Commission in terms of sentiments, we dont do that.
Sinclair B. Ferguson (1948- ):
For worship is, essentially, the reverse of sin. Sin began (and begins) when we succumb to the temptation, "You shall be as gods." We make ourselves the center of the universe and dethrone God.
