An atheist, no… a believer, depends? A doubter, YES!

NPR Speaking of Faith interview:

I find that the modern terms atheist, agnostic and believer are so wrong-headed, so misunderstood, and sort of calcifying sections of thought that really need not be calcified, that I really hesitate to align myself with any of them.

And that’s the kind of doubt I want to bring into the conversation, because I think we’ve really backed ourselves into a couple of corners, and it’s time to get out.

How can you really be against the idea of mystery and have your eyes open at the same time? It doesn’t make sense to me.

But mystery, then, doesn’t mean I’ve got to fill in the blanks with, you know, ideas of my own imagination.

Unitarian Universalist sermon quote:

We live in a meaning-rupture because we are human and the universe is not.

Now that one is a gem!
