“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity. I am certain there must be a patent American article on the market which will suit you far better…”
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics in “Answers to Questions on Christianity” (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1970) answer #11.
Why share this today? It is fresh in my mind as I quoted Lewis in a blogpost I wrote for the Christian Leadership Alliance which posted yesterday entitled: “Should Christians Save for Retirement?” I hope you find it helpful.
