“In answer to the historical query of why [Christian faith] was accepted and is accepted, I answer for millions of others in my reply; because it fits the lock, because it is like life. It is one among many stories; only it happens to be a true story… We accept it; and the ground is solid under our feet and the road is open before us…. It opens to us not only incredible heavens but what seems to some an equally incredible earth, and makes it credible.
“This is the sort of truth that is hard to explain because it is a fact; but it is a fact to which we can call witnesses. We are Christians… not because we worship a key, but becasue we have passed a door; and felt the wind that is the trumpet of liberty blow over the land of the living.”
-G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
