My grandad was an early atheist. Former RAF. Successful small business owner. When I was all of nine years old I told him the only logically defensible position was agnosticism, but that I was a Christian. He was very impressed. He also liked the fact that I was one the few guests who could answer many of the logic problems and puzzles in his first edition Victorian book of Riddles.
He had a lovely house. I really miss it. Late Georgian with a stables. He had converted some of the stables to a double garage, but rented the rest to a local woman and her daughter. Tiered back garden, with private mooring at the bottom of the garden. It was like something out of a bygone era. It exists only in memory now. A developer bought it and completely changed it. Landscaped the tiered garden so it was more of a gentle winding slope.
I found a great Chesterton quote site.

Here is one I find intriguing:
“If there were no God, there would be no atheists.”

He had a God given talent.
Is this commentary published in line (or interlinearly) with the original text? Is Chesterton on the page as well, or just the commentary?
The Chesterton book ball and the cross is very prophetic
