Moderate?

I was reminded of this quote this morning:

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

C.S. Lewis

On reflection, and I think this is probably true for the vast majority of people who consider this quote, I think that I live as if Christianity and Christ were moderately important. I know many people who live as if it was of no importance, and hardly anyone who live as if it was of immense importance.

I suppose that is part of all the questioning I've been going through on this blog. I know I'm in the untenable moderate middle ground, and I need to find the reasons to jump one way or the other...

Quotes of the day

I heard/read two fascinating quotes today, so I share them with you, dear reader:

"It is better the world perish with the truth than be saved with lies"

from 'The Last Temptation of Christ' by Nikos Kazantzakis

and

"One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision"

by Bertrand Russell
