Quote of the Day (John Buchan, on Atheism)


"I have heard an atheist defined as a man who had no invisible means of support." –John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir, statesman and novelist (The Thirty-Nine Steps) in a speech to the Law Society of Upper Canada, February 21,1936; published in his book Canadian Occasions (1940)


That quote was later used by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in an article in Look Magazine in its December 14, 1955 issue. It remains as true now as it did then.
