Sunday Quote: C.S. Lewis on God

"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?"

- C.S. Lewis from Mere Christianity, chapter 6.

"The man was brilliant"

Indeed he was. And his writings make so much sense to me.
