Quarrel

'Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin' Proverbs 17:19

My college religious studies class was full of fierce debates about the nature of reality, God, and just about everything under the sun. My friend J loved the cut and thrust of intellectual argument- much as Socrates seemed to in the account by Plato which was one of our set texts. But although some people can find God through logical debate, most don't I find. Christianity has very strong grounds for faith in the historical evidence and in the experiences of millions worldwide. But as Cardinal Newman commented, we believe what we want to believe- and many simply just don't want the inconvenience of having to follow Christ, even though He is the Truth.
