When the solution is simple, God is answering.
Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.
God always takes the simplest way.
To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.
But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.
Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.
Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction--faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.
