Irrationality is not stupidity. It is signing for whatever your mind hands you without opening the package, and some of the cleverest people I have met never open it.

Feeling sure proves nothing. A belief you were told a hundred times feels exactly like one you tested, and most people only learn which was which when the floor gives way.

Your eyes are not a window. Your brain is an editor, built to spot tigers, not truth. And the tiger now is a bad idea it has not learned to see.

Most wars between "our God" and "their God" are not about God. They are about people claiming a truth they have never learned to check, and refusing to admit it.

Before anything else, before the world and before the question of how to live in it, I had to know what I could trust.
