The Thoughts of a Demon

Been reading the Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis. It's a very thought provoking book and amazingly profound for it's time. If you haven't read it, it's about an older demon named Screwtape sharing advice with his nephew Wormwood on how to control the human soul. Read this part today and wanted to throw it out to you to think about. Feel free to comment if you'd like.

Screwtape- "He really does want to fill the universe with a lot of loathsome little replicas of Himself-creatures whose life, on its miniature scale, will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has absorbed them but because their wills freely conform to His. We want cattle who can finally become food; He wants servants who can finally becomes sons. We want to suck in; He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has drawn all other beings into himself: the Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct."
