Faith and/or Reason
or Philosophy of Religion
Mere Christianity (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1996 [first published 1943]), p.145
If Christianity was something we were making up, of course we could
make it easier. But it is not. We cannot compete, in simplicity, with
people who are inventing religions. How could we? We are dealing with
Fact. Of course anyone can be simple if he has no facts to bother about.

Now Faith, in the sense in which I am here using the word, is the art
of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your
changing moods. For moods will change, whatever view your reason takes.
I know that by experience. Now that I am a Christian I do have moods in
which the whole thing looks very improbable: but when I was an atheist
I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable.
