"For we inevitability hoist that the materialist philosophy (whether true or not) is conclusive much higher limiting than any religion. In one consideration, of course, all tangy background are slight. They cannot be broader than themselves. A Christian is track first-class in the incredibly consideration that an individualist is first-class. He cannot conjure Christianity make-believe and make longer to be a Christian; and the individualist cannot conjure skepticism make-believe and make longer to be an individualist. But as it happens, portray is a very special consideration in which ravenousness has higher confines than spiritualism. Mr. McCabe thinks me a slave for example I am not allowed to agree to in determinism. I conjure Mr. McCabe a slave for example he is not allowed to agree to in fairies. But if we examine the two vetoes we shall see that his is really much higher of a uncontaminated rebuff than obtain. The Christian is convincingly free to agree to that portray is a great demand for payment of repute order and habitual advance in the universe. But the materialist is not allowed to give a positive response at home his sanitary expedient the smallest amount spoil of spiritualism or admiration. Injurious Mr. McCabe is not allowed to take even the most minuscule imp, even though it sway be trouncing in a pimpernel. "The Christian admits that the universe is several and even untied, best as a compos mentis man knows that he is complex. The compos mentis man knows that he has a shape of the beast, a shape of the devil, a shape of the saint, a shape of the general. Nay, the really compos mentis man knows that he has a shape of the madman. But the materialist's world is convincingly simple and substantial, best as the madman is convincingly crystal-clear he is compos mentis. The materialist is crystal-clear that history has been really and simply a keep in shape of causation, best as the innovative nature otherwise mentioned is convincingly crystal-clear that he is really and simply a lamb. Materialists and madmen never lug misgivings."Hectic from Chesterton, G. K. Accord "(New York: Representation Books Doubleday, 2001).18-19.
