I prefer Isaac Asimov to CS Lewis. His Guide to the Bible is brilliant. Asimov said that “Faith is believing what no one in their right mind would believe” because if it is logical, faith is unnecessary and even impossible.

CS Lewis says that Jesus was either the Son of God or a mad man. If I told you that I was God, would you worship me or think I was nuts?

It takes faith to believe in miracles and mysteries. Logic doesn’t work. One man’s prophet is another man’s madman.

Isdaac Asimov was a brilliant and highly productive writer. He was also a very bitter atheist, because he was so reluctant to accept that there was anything higher than human beings.
