A Slice of Infinity Snippets:
"It's so hard to believe in anything anymore. If it weren't for my lucky astrology mood watch, I wouldn't believe in anything." - Comedian Steve Martin
"jesters oft do prove our prophets" - Shakespheare
“We are living in a time when sensitivities are at the surface, often vented with cutting words. Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you do not claim it to be true. Morally you can practice anything, so long as you do not claim that it is a 'better' way. Religiously, you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Jesus Christ into it." - Ravi Zacharias
“In lecturing to popular audiences I have repeatedly found it almost impossible to make them understand that I recommend Christianity because I think its affirmations to be objectively true. They are simply not interested in the question of truth or falsehood. They only want to know if it will be comforting, or ‘inspiring,’ or socially useful." - C.S. Lewis
The world has changed since Lewis penned those words, but the truth he diligently pointed to has not. Lewis reminds us that if a religion is to be treated with intellectual respect, then it must stand the tests of truth, hope, and integrity, regardless of the shifting moods of history. The remarkable hope of the Christian is that there is a religion that is able to stand the test of time, the swaying of appetite, and the scrutiny of reason. There are indeed countless choices among us; might we arrive at our verdict by means of the unchanging road of truth and light that will not fade away.
