> That's an overreaching interpretation of what I wrote. That's a fair point. I'm extrapolating a bit from many other people I know, including nominal Christians and Catholics and my past self. > One can pursue the truth without declaring everything else as worthless. Plus, I dispute the idea that "non-authentic" mysteries can't convey truth. I agree, which is why I said that the allure of the character of _why (and Mary Poppins and Willie Wonka) is actually a shadow of Jesus, pointing to Him. But trivial pursuits for their own sake are too common, leading people to stop halfway through the journey to Truth because they're satisfied with an illusion. This is the tragedy I lament on HN in general and this thread in particular. > GK Chesterton If you enjoyed him, you'll enjoy Fulton Sheen too I suspect. The most thought provoking philosopher of the 20th century. Also, I have a friend who was convinced of becoming Christian by CK Chesterton but stopped short of Catholicism. Reminds me of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien.
