The Dogmatism Of Science Has Become A New Orthodoxy, Disseminated By The Media And A State Educational System With A Thoroughness And Subtlety Far Exceeding Anything Of The Kind Achieved By The Inquisition; To The Point That To Believe Today In A Miraculous Happening Like The Virgin Birth Is To Appear A Kind Of Imbecile.

I Hate Government. I Hate Power. I Think That Man's Existence, Insofar As He Achieves Anything, Is To Resist Power, To Minimize Power, To Devise Systems Of Society In Which Power Is The Least Exerted.

People Think Of Faith As Being Something That You Don't Really Believe, A Device In Helping You Believe Simply It. Of Course That Is Quite Wrong. As Pascal Says, Faith Is A Gift Of God. It Is Different From The Proof Of It. It Is The Kind Of Faith God Himself Places In The Heart, Of Which The Proof Is Often The Instrument... He Says Of It, Too, That It Is The Heart Which Is Aware Of God, And Not Reason. That Is What Faith Is: God Perceived By The Heart, Not Be Reason.

In The End, Coming To Faith Remains For All A Sense Of Homecoming, Of Picking Up The Threads Of A Lost Life, Of Responding To A Bell That Had Long Been Ringing, Of Taking A Place At A Table That Had Long Been Vacant.
