This quote by a Catholic Apologist seems to fit this debate board these days. yes, no?

“The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.”
― G.K. Chesterton

I'm throwing this one in just because I like it.

“A thing may be too sad to be believed or too wicked to be believed or too good to be believed; but it cannot be too absurd to be believed in this planet of frogs and elephants, of crocodiles and cuttle-fish.”
― G.K. Chesterton

    True--but it's the arguments that keeps things lively. lol

    The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people

    Amen! I never had any enemies (that I'm aware of) until I got into a property dispute with my neighbors. It's been dragging on for two years. Sigh. It's FINALLY going to trial next month. To those that pray: please pray for the Lord's favor to be upon me. Thanks much :)

  • Here are some of my favorite G K Chesterton quotes


     The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people


    It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged. 


    What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism


    If you convey to a woman that something ought to be done, there is always a dreadful danger that she will suddenly do it.

  • daps, I LOVE G. K. Chesterton. (And I'm not even Catholic). My favorite quote of his is this: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.” ~G. K. Chesterton
