Would Be Uncertain Skeptical

More From Rupert Sheldrake

What is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. if you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. on the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish useful ideas from the worthless ones.
Hands Ideas Two
Be skeptical, but not as a social position, not claiming to be so intelligent that you cannot believe what other people say. it's not about being right and making everybody else wrong. no, you are skeptical because you know without a doubt that everybody lives in their own story, and in their story they have their own truth. but it's only truth in their mind, just as your truth is only truth in your mind, and nobody else's.
Believe Intelligent People
There are only two things one has to bear in mind. one has to be credulous - able to believe - and skeptical - able to not believe, because if you are not skeptical, you will believe rubbish. if you are not credulous you will learn nothing and the only way to balance those two is to recognize the mystery of things.
Believe Mind Balance
As abraham lincoln said, if there is to be a superior position, he would rather that superior position be assigned to the white race. that superior position must be protected by those who believe in white supremacy and they will do everything in their power to make sure that that position will always be throughout the generations.
Believe Race White
In the past 10,000 years, humans have devised roughly 100,000 religions based on roughly 2,500 gods. so the only difference between myself and the believers is that i am skeptical of 2,500 gods whereas they are skeptical of 2,499 gods. we're only one god away from total agreement.
Funny God Atheist
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.

Similar Quotes
... superstitions, which, being unable to defend themselves on fair ground, raise these intangling brambles to cover and protect their weakness. chased from the open country, these robbers fly into the forest, and lie in wait to break in upon every unguarded avenue of the mind, and overwhelm it with religious fears and prejudices. ... the idea of god, as meaning an infinitely intelligent, wise and good being, arises from reflecting on the operations of our own mind, and augmenting, without limit, those qualities of goodness and wisdom.
Wise Country Religious
The bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me.
Running Religious Prayer
Love is not easy. all great religions postulate love as one of the greatest accomplishments. if it were that easy, or as easy as most people think, certainly, the great religious leaders would have been rather naive.
Religious Love Is Thinking
I believe strongly in the constitutional principle of separating church and state. our founders were right in fearing that religious freedom would be threatened in the long run by a departure from governmental neutrality in spiritual matters.
