Hope is the belief we might get it done and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.

The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms and in forty years of searching none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief.

To imply that religious believers have no right to engage moral questions in the public square or at the ballot is simply to establish a Reichian secularism as our state faith.

I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.

I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims.

I'm a lapsed Quaker. I don't go to meetings any more. But I'm very drawn to Catholicism - all that glitter. I'd love to be a Catholic. I think it would be fantastic - faith forgiveness absolution extreme unction - all these wonderful words.
