"The new school of art and thought does indeed wear an air of audacity, and breaks out everywhere into blasphemies, as if it required any courage to say a blasphemy. There is only one thing that requires real courage to say, and that is a truism."
G K Chesterton; "G.F. Watts".
A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy.

ReplyDelete-GK Chesterton
Gotta Love ol' GK. Turns out there is a GK Chesterton Society conference in St Louis this weekend. Wish I could go. I'm not an expert on GKC but I'm sure it would be a hoot.
ReplyDeleteI actually attended last year in Maryland. Excellent talks. The piece on Edmund Burke was top notch.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the Chesterton society, I highly recommend the material at Distributist Review.com
