Is belief in Christ foolish or sane?
…in a quiet hour a strange thought struck me like a still thunderbolt. There had suddenly come into my mind another explanation. Suppose we heard of an unknown man spoken of by many men. Suppose we were puzzled to hear that some men said he was too tall and some too short; some objected to his fatness, some lamented his leanness; some thought him too dark, and some too fair. One explanation would be that he might be an odd shape. But there is another explanation:
He might be the right shape.
Outrageously tall men might feel him to be short. Very short men might feel him to be tall. Old bucks who are growing stout might consider him insufficiently filled out; old beaus who were growing thin might feel that he expanded beyond the narrow lines of elegance. Perhaps Swedes (who have pale hair) called him a dark man, while dark men considered him distinctly blonde.
Perhaps this extraordinary thing is really the ordinary thing; at least the normal thing, the center.
Perhaps, after all, it is Christianity that is sane and all its critics that are mad.
–G. K. Chesterton
