"Political repression? This is progress"

"When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall. If they are wrong they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, then you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house" It's so simple but C.S. Lewis can deliever some very polished language. It's probably the best way I've ever heard it put. Now there's an era I wouldn't mind making a comeback. The intellectual Christian elitist. I could name twenty people that go to church and fifteen of them who don't know why. This man knows a little something about his faith, a concept that's gone from underrated to near extinct. I'm trying to think of one guy in our world that's even comparable. The Ivy League Christian. The man who says why he believes something out of almost pure logic. We've got too many people on the spiritual high five days, six days after a youth camp or mission trip. We need more Ivy League snobs where Christians are concerned.
