“A friend expressed dozens of objections to the point I was making about God; whenever I shot one down, he just deployed another. Recognizing that he was merely laying down a smoke barrage, I asked ‘Suppose we took a few weeks and I answered every one of your objections to your complete intellectual satisfaction. Would you then believe?’ He answered, ‘No’—and that ‘No’ was a moment of illumination, for he realized for the first time that his real problem with God was not in his mind, but in his will.”
-J. Budziszewski, The Revenge of Conscience
