My conclusion is that there is no reason to #believe any of the dogmas of traditional #theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true. Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
—Bertrand Russell
Quote of the day, 29 April: Brother Lawrence
What consoles me in this life is that I see God by faith. And I see him in such a way that I can sometimes say, “I no longer believe, I see, for I experience what faith teaches.” With this assurance, and by this practice of faith, I will live and die with him.
Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, O.C.D.
