A favorite essay from C.S Lewis.

I have a GK Chesterton question. Do you know where his quote, “Tolerance is the virtue of men without convictions.”

Aw man, that’s the second quote I’ve found misattributed. Thanks

It is very commonly attributed to him. I would put something like, "Supposedly said by... " or 'reported to be said by'. I think the article makes it clear that it comes from his words, anyway.

So when are we going to do a letter exchange?

I’ve yet to find anything you’ve written that I disagreed with enough to make several letter exchanges about.

I'll have to try harder :)

What did you think of the gnostic post?

It was good. I’m glad you didn’t trot out the well-worn 1 Corinthians 13.

Monday I’m doing a post on legislating morality, I haven’t fully formed my thoughts on it. That may be fuel for the letter exchange.

I used to be really political over a decade ago and then retired from it. Then the world went stupid and I got “red-pilled” again.

How do you see I Cor 13 as applying?

I see it used in a lot of wedding ceremonies.
