Quote for the Day:

A rational society is one that values argument and considers virtually all points of view subject to debate. It promotes inquiry, experimentation, and empiricism, maintaining some faith in objectivity – which is not the same as certainty. The search for evidence is not a search for indisputable proof. Rationalism is founded on skepticism – a commitment to testing all beliefs, including your own – and a capacity to tolerate doubt. People hungry for absolutes are more likely to choose supernaturalism or unadulterated emotionalism over any system of free inquiry. What is revealed to you in a moment of oneness with your Higher Power is absolutely reliable. What you know "in your heart" is rarely open to question.
