That, essentially, is where I come from. In a sense, tolerance is my religion.

I receive such and such doctrines, not because I can prove them to be compatible with reason, not because my judgment accepts them, but because God says they are true.

“AS SOMBRAS DA ALMA. THE SHADOWS OF THE SOUL. The stories others tell about you and the stories you tell about yourself: which come closer to the truth? Is it so clear that they are your own?

Or are the alleged facts only the deceptive shadows of our stories?” RealSoulEndsFactsStoriesDifferencesClearTruth IsAuthorityShadowConcernOneselfAbout YourselfDeceptiveReal QuestionsTrue And False Author:Pascal Mercier
