I believe what Chesterton actually said was "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."

You obviously have fallen for the familiar and banal notion that it is not important to believe in something greater than yourself.

Alas, Chesterton's epigram applies to you more fully than to most people--because you have fallen for the oldest cop-out in human history.

I thought it was my dad that always said that:>)) It was part of his parental wisdom
