Sarah Myers (the_chestertonian) | 1 comments The quote, "Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car," is attributed here to G.K. Chesterton. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/...

However, a facebook group of Chesterton fans recently talked about this and agreed that it didn't sound like Chesterton at all. The best info we could find on the real source was that Billy Sunday said it, and here's a link on that: http://www.quoteyard.com/going-to-chu...

Could a super librarian edit it? It has too many likes for me to fix it.

vicki_girl | 2764 comments Fixed. I also changed the wording to match the direct quote from Sunday's book.
