More on belief
Our differences in beliefs do not truly separate us, or elevate us over others. Rather, they highlight the rich tapestry that is humanity.
George TakeiGeorge Takei It is time we recognized that belief is not a private matter; it has never been merely private. In fact, beliefs are scarcely more private than actions are, for every belief is a fount of action in potential.
Sam HarrisSam Harris Faith does not offer a strong link between our beliefs and actual states of the world.

G. K. ChestertonG. K. Chesterton God doesn’t take things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly.
