I love C. S. Lewis:
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
- C.S. Lewis, quoted by White Horse Inn.
One of the best summations of Christianity I’ve seen.

i kind of disagree with Mr Lewis. I think the importance of christianity is to help us - to remind us - to lead loving lives with tangable benefit on this earth. So even if it's untrue, its still a very good plan for how to live ones life.

Kind of like the saying I always say...
"... I'd rather live my life as though there is a God and die and find out there isn't, than live my life as though there isn't a God and die and find out there is."

I don’t think that’s disagreeing as much as it is focusing heavily on the “it’s not important” piece of the quote. I think his main point can be found in the “infinite importance” part.

Very true... that's why they call it "the good book."
