anonymous quote about skepticism

The truth is, skepticism is boring
for if you were a true skeptic, you'd be skeptic about your skepticism
of course, you'd have to prove that to yourself first
what could be more boring than that?

oh yes
give me a true believer anyday
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Blaise Pascal

"evil" and "religion"...
religion has defined more than 90% of our moral codes.
how can we call someone who is ridden from good and evil, no longer influenced by them?
he'd see the world in a more profound way, but people would be scared of him.
and call him evil
because they wouldn't understand him
and people are afraid of what they don't understand
we don't understand death for example, thus killing someone is evil
I feel like I've already talked about this before here, it must get boring, + I don't really know what I'm talking about in the first place, which is why I don't like bringing it up.

It takes a lot of faith to be a heretic.
funny how the mind works
I wish I had a funny mind
; my mind hardly works at all.

not believing in God remains a form of belief
and even hardly working remains a way for the mind to work
funny how the mind works huh
