Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?

Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.

Reason alone cannot give you a whole steak, but it sure helps with identifying bologna.

If your life is Christ, then your death will be only more of Christ, forever. If your life is only Christlessness, then your death will be only more Christlessness, forever. That's not fundamentalism, that's the law of non-contradiction.

The Church is God's Bride. All the saints and mystics say the ultimate purpose of human life, the highest end for which we were made, is the Spiritual Marriage. This is not socially relative; it is eternal. And in it, the soul is spiritually impregnated by God, not vice versa. That is the ultimate reason why God must always be he to us, never she. Religion is essentially heterosexual and therefore fruitful.

Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.

It is just as crazy not to be crazy about Christ as it is to be crazy about anything else.
