Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

My method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training—if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more insignificant individuals.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors.

It’s hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior. You have a new goal and a new plan, but you haven’t changed who you are.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over.

I was never crippled until I lost hope.

Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.

I think I ended up being the scarlet woman partly because of my rather puritannical upbringing and beliefs. I always chose to think I was in love and that love was synonymous with marriage.

That said, your values will not always be the object of public admiration. In fact, the more you live by your beliefs, the more you will endure the censure of the world.

If your belief system is not founded in an objective reality, you should not be making decisions that affect other people.
