Doubting Wisdom
Fools and Fanatics
It has been said that fools and fanatics are sure of themselves, but wiser people have doubts. If there is virtue in this, it is not obvious. Fools and fanatics may be a problem (and surely they are), but having doubts (agnostic) is no solution. If one's knowledge comes from a Source greater than creation, doubts dissipate. #parlerphilosophy
That reminds me of a sentence I came across this week reading Michael Shaara's book, "The Killer Angels" (about the battle of Gettysburg). He said, "Southern women like their men religious and a little mad. That's why they fall in love with preachers."
