Quote #208

If you ask me, 'Is there a God?' and I say 'Yes,' you immediately ask my grounds for saying so, and poor me has to exercise all his powers to provide you with some reason. If you had come to Christ and said 'Is there any God?' he would have said, 'Yes,' and if you had asked, 'Is there any proof?' he would have replied, 'Behold the Lord!'
