Week 46 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This week C.S. Lewis
“Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.”
Hard pass
I can't begin to tell you how arrogant it is for someone who perpetuates an invented god to then insist that not believing in it is the real intellectual failure. In a universe as vast as the one we perceive, it is far more likely that we would not know something than know it. Clearly, those who thought Venus was a dot on the celestial ceiling also knew the eternal secrets of the divine (this week on Geraldo!).
