The Fog Of Information Can Drive Out

There Was A Time When The Reader Of An Unexciting Newspaper Would Remark, 'how Dull Is The World Today!' Nowadays He Says, 'what A Dull Newspaper!'

There's Something Beautifully Soothing About A Fact — Even (or Perhaps Especially) If We're Not Sure What It Means.

Probably No One Of Us Has The True Religion. But All Of Us Together - If We Are Allowed To Be Free - Are Discovering Ways Of Conversing About The Great Mysteries. The Pretense To Know All The Answers To The Deepest Mysteries Is, Of Course, The Grossest Fraud. And Any People Who Declare A Jihad, A Holy War On Unbelievers - Those Who Do Not Share Their Believers' Pretended Omniscience - Are Enemies Of Thinking Men And Woman And Of Civilization. I See Religion As Only A Way Of Asking Unanswerable Questions, Of Sharing The Joy Of A Community Of Quest, And Solacing One Another In Our Ignorance.

No Agnostic Ever Burned Anyone At The Stake Or Tortured A Pagan, A Heretic, Or An Unbeliever.

We Need Not Be Theologians To See That We Have Shifted Responsibility For Making The World Interesting From God To The Newspaperman.
