“I have done much reporting in what might be termed the religious field. I have interviewed dozens of people-maybe hundreds-asking questions about their beliefs. Some impressed me more than others, but it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the gift of faith (and I think it is a gift) is the most valuable one of all. People who have it are stronger-and kinder-and more unselfish-and happier. It's as simple (and as mysterious) as that.” PeopleThinkingDoneMightFaithBeliefReligiousSimpleImpossibleFieldsStrongerAskingValuableConclusionMysteriousDozenImpressedAsking QuestionsUnselfishKinder Author:Arthur Gordon Webster

“It is a curious paradox that precisely in proportion to our own intellectual weakness will be our credulity, to those mysterious powers assumed by others; and in those regions of darkness and ignorance where man cannot effect even those things that are within the power of man, there we shall ever find that a blind belief in feats that are far beyond those powers has taken the deepest root in the minds of the deceived, and produced the richest harvest to the knavery of the deceiver.” MenMindBeliefDarknessTakenEffectsIgnoranceIntellectualWeaknessRootsBlindMysteriousCuriousProportionRegionsParadoxHarvestDeceivedFeatsCredulityDeceiverKnaveryBlind Belief Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think

“It is always a great honour to mention a truth which has not become widespread yet. One of these truths is that man has no soul; he has only 'body' and 'mind'. Man's unshakable belief on the soul will not change this scientific truth! No belief can be higher than the scientific truths! Man can be born, can walk and work and can think without owning a mysterious and an immaterial soul! The soullessness of the man is a great tragedy both for the man and for the religion. But Man, contrary to the religion, will come out with triumph from this tragedy.” ThinkingMenMindSoulBodyBeliefChangeBornWalksHe ManHigherTruth IsTragedyContraryMysteriousTriumphHonourMind And BodyUnshakableScientific TruthGreat Tragedy Author:Mehmet Murat Ildan
“Those of us who have transcended mythical belief systems know without any doubt that there is no God up in the sky. But when we awaken to what I call the evolutionary impulse - the mysterious passion to evolve, to become, to develop on every level-we rediscover who God is.” KnowsSpiritualityPassionBeliefLevelsDoubtSkyMysteriousEvolveImpulseThere Is No GodBelief SystemsSpiritual AwarenessWho God Is Author:Andrew Cohen
