Things I read on the plane (part II)

"[W]hat is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might be beneficial...To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, in stead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion."

T.S. Eliot, The Idea of Christian Society
