“The rational scrutiny of religious faith involves asking believers only two questions:

How do you know that?

What makes you so sure that the claims of your faith are right and the claims of other faiths are wrong?”

“How shall the dead arise, is no question of my faith; to believe only possibilities, is not faith, but mere philosophy.”

“Then — in that day — we shall not meet
Wrong with new wrong, but right with right;
Our faith shall make your faith complete
When our battalions re-unite.

Forward!”

“Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.”

“Certainly you will have doubts. There will be questionings and faith will return again. That is how faith is established.”

“The Catholic Church claims, not only to judge infallibly on religious questions, but to animadvert on opinions in secular matters which bear upon religion, on matters of philosophy, of science, of literature, of history, and it demands our submission to her claim. It claims to censure books, to silence authors, and to forbid discussions. In all this it does not so much speak doctrinally, as enforce measures of discipline. It must of course be obeyed without a word, and perhaps in process of time it will tacitly recede from its own injunctions. In such cases the question of faith does not come in; for what is matter of faith is true for all times, and never can be unsaid.”

“Put your faith in what you most believe in.”

“I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending.”

“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.”

“We rely on faith only in the context of claims for which there is no sufficient sensory or logical evidence.”
