Whittaker Chambers Quote

Quote from Whittaker Chambers,

Recall the essential question posed by Whittaker Chambers in Witness, his famous 1952 treatise on his rejection of communism:

The Communist Party is quite justified in calling itself the most revolutionary party in history. It has posed in practical form the most revolutionary question in history: God or Man? It is taking the logical next step which 300 years of rationalism hesitated to take, and said what millions of modern minds think, but do not dare or care to say: If man’s mind is the decisive force in the world, what need is there for God? Henceforth man’s mind is man’s fate.
