“Faith is not contrary to reason.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.
Faith is reason grown courageous.
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.
