Found it referred to in
an essay by Kent Gramm. From The Second Coming. Of course it is much longer than
this. Thank you.
Excerpts:
There are only two
classes of people, the believers and the unbelievers. The only difficulty is
deciding which is the more feckless.
… As unacceptable as believers are, unbelievers are even worse. … The present day unbeliever is crazy because he finds himself born into a world of endless wonders, having no notion how he got here, a world in which he eats, sleeps … works, grows old, gets sick, and dies, and… Not once in his entire life does it cross his mind to say to himself that his situation is preposterous… … The more intelligent he is, the crazier he is… He is as insane as a French intellectual.

Fr. Smith is talking to Tom More about how words have been deprived of
their meaning.
