Essence of Faith?

"The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly
teaches me to suspect that my own is also." - Mark Twain

i think this quote carries some truth to it, which is applicable to any faith-based religion. for virtually every religion in existence, there will be somebody who dismisses it as folly with easy confidence.

additionally, by adhering strictly to one religion, you are, in a sense, dismissing all others as folly (implicitly, at least temporarily even the ones you don't know anything about).

here's to hoping that you're right!
(translation: here's to hoping that i'm right!)

Yes, all the people who have been so critical of my skepticism have shown no reluctance to dismiss my new found super-spiritual Muffy.

I love Mark Twain.

Finally, that aside is one of the coolest things. Really amazing. Deserves a rec just for that.
