Quote of the day: G. K. Chesterton on the tyranny of militantly secularist governments

‘Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God.  That fact is written all across human history; but it is written most plainly across that recent history of Russia; which was created by Lenin.  There the Government is the God, and all the more the God, because it proclaims aloud in accents of thunder, like every other God worth worshipping, the one essential commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods but Me.’

~ G. K. Chesterton
