1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

"Usually it is discussed in terms of the concept of freedom, but this is misleading because freedom has so many connotations not relevant for this question. The decisive point is the relationship of religion and ethics. The question is whether the moral imperative is dependent on the divine grace for its actualization, or whether divine grace is dependent on the fulfillment of the moral imperative."
(from Paul Tillich's _A History of Christian Thought_ - nb there were at least five books within easy grabbing distance and this is probably my favorite)

And, let me see, I will tag plantae, freakfish, raisinbottom, apotropaic, and manintheboat. But I still think tagging is silly.
