Man that is a great quote!  Another way of saying, "God of the Gaps", but so elegant.

The other night I was talking to a Christian about the female reproductive system.  The topic was how the fallopian tubes alternate which one drops an egg monthly, as well as how each month a new egg isn't made by the body, instead they just mature one at a time. (Somebody correct me if I'm dreadfully wrong on anything).  Anyway, I thought out loud, "Wow - How does the female body orchestrate all that?  That's amazing!  How does it know to do all that??".  The Christian pointed up at the sky and said, "God!"
For some reason, the conversation just stopped...And sadly, so did the Christian's curiosity.

Religion teaches us to be satisfied with ignorance.

to question is to blaspheme

Speaking of which,
I was talking to a very dear friend of mine yesterday.  He's as fundy as it gets, and he's a full-time Missionary who travels all over the world to convert people to Christianity.
I told him, "You know that I've been questioning my faith.  But if something is TRUE, it ought to stand up to that type of scrutiny, shouldn't it?".

wow. how did he respond?

i'm guessing something to the effect of "Well, I'm sure God has a plan for you and that He'll show you the way"...

in other words, fight logic and reason with even more unfounded faith...

He agreed that faith ought to stand up to that type of scrutiny.  In his mind it does.

After I wrote the last sentence, I called him and spoke to him for over an hour.  We went through everything from the efficacy of prayer to logic to morals to infinite regression and so on and so forth.  
He is currently reading THIS BOOK and said that it is a painful read.  He said that it has "exposed some of the things I've been clinging to...for example that faith is logical".  So that sparked an hour and 15 minute conversation in which our tone was never disrespectful of each other's views, and he was very sympathetic of how much it must have hurt to come to the point that I'm at now.  Like I said, he's a very good friend.  Any way, here's a picture of the book:

[Moloth]

wow.

isn't it odd how, once rational thought and serious examination occurs, faith and religion seem to begin to evaporate?

Few people look at the world, quest through it, learn about it and decided that an invisible, magical man who lives in the sky is truly the most reasonable explanation.

I have a lot of respect for your friend for reading that book.  Not many people have the strength or the integrity to go through that sort of pain.  It is that adherence and that desire for truth that gives me hope for humanity.

If man can face the pain of self discovery, we can do anything.

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you (Kismet)
