by Kirk Spencer

I know there was no Twitter around when G.K. Chesterton was around But if there were, Im sure these tweets would be legit:

If there were no God, there would be no atheists[1]#EvolutionaryNotRevolutionaryEnough

Progress is Providence without God a theory that everything has always perpetually gone right by accident based on an everlasting coincidence far more miraculous than a miracle[2] #RiddlesOfGodSolutionsOfMan

The modern world is a crowd of very rapid racing cars all brought to a standstill and stuck in a block of traffic[3] #AllSoupedUpAndNoPlaceToGo #ReasonRacingAroundWithoutReasons

My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday[4] #NeotonyCacophony #ForwardToSunday

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions[5] #SightMakeRight #CelebrityErrors #FallacyFashions

A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.[6] #StreamOfThoughtPolution

Comforts that were rare among our forefathers are now handed out wholesale or at least a reasonably cheap imitation[7] #CommodeCulture #PlasticPeople

An open mind is really a mark of foolishness, like an open mouth. Mouths and minds were made to open only in order to shut to shut it again on something solid[8] #DroolingBrains #MentalMouthBreathers

What is called matriarchy is simply moral anarchy, in which the mother alone remains fixed because all the fathers are fugitive and irresponsible.[9] #AnchorWoMan #AbsenteeDadee

Religious liberty means that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it[10] #FreedomFrom #SacredSilence

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried[11] #DontGiveUp #TheNarrowWay
