Philosophical Musings 109-112

109) When we are listening to the awe inspiring beauty of a Gregorian chant, or when we are experiencing the extraordinary quality of the atmosphere inside a Gothic cathedral, we can sense whatever Truth there may be in religion. When we talk and argue about religion, or boast about how religious or irreligious we are, that Truth is lost to us.


110) If our interpretation of truth allows us to feel superior to others then that truth will always fail us.


111) Believers should question their beliefs, atheists should question their atheism and agnostics should question their agnosticism.


112) You may have won the argument but if in having done so it feeds your vanity and pride then the winning of the argument has no value whatsoever.
