Quotation of the Day for July 3, 2011"I learned that what converts seek in faith is warmth, not light, and that when scales fall from eyes, harder, more opaque ones grow back in. I learned that an epiphany is not an argument, it is a license, usually to destroy. And I learned that when belief in a divinity gives way, a reserve army of idols stands ready to take its place--ideas, dogmas, leaders, movements. Aren't these lessons a preparation for modern history? Aren't they a preparation for the present?" - Mark Lilla Submitted by: Terry Labach May 13, 2011  |
