Maggie's Farm

I love Chesterton, but he oversells the point here. Many things encourage us to remain the products of our own blinkered age (including sometimes the study of history). But the Catholic Church is not the only countervailing force, nor is it itself immune from the spirit of the age.

Still Curtis - as the omnipotence of God versus the existence of evil has been argued at very high levels for thousands of years, you might try engaging the great minds that have wrestled with it, rather than contenting yourself with easy sneering. You certainly give evidence in this comment that your lack of belief stems from social and emotional issues rather than intellectual ones. Rationalisation is not reasoning.
