Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.

People fashion their God after their own understanding. They make their God first and worship him afterwards.

When I think of all the harm the Bible has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it

Death is a confirmation of the believer's creed. For the skeptic it is discovery, immense and late.

Faith makes all things possible.... love makes all things easy.

And here is the point, about myself and my co-thinkers. Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.
