More From Mary Baker Eddy

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
Indeed, religion allows people to imagine that their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral - that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings. this explains why christians like yourself expend more "moral" energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide. it explains why you are more concerned about human embryos than about the lifesaving promise of stem-cell research. and it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-saharan africa while millions die from aids there each year. (25)

A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

If a psychological maxwell devises a general theory of mind, he may make it possible for a psychological einstein to follow with a theory that the mental and the physical are really the same. but this could happen only at the end of a process which began with the recognition that the mental is something completely different from the physical world as we have come to know it through a certain highly successful form of detached objective understanding. only if the uniqueness of the mental is recognized will concepts and theories be devised especially for the purpose of understanding it.
Successful Understanding Mind
Maybe the best we can hope for is that those we leave behind find comfort in knowing, that we’re born out of love, and not science. that biology explains the how, but love explains the why
Knowing Comfort Biology
One should not wrongly reify 'cause' and 'effect,' as the natural scientists do (and whoever, like them, now 'naturalizes' in his thinking), according to the prevailing mechanical doltishness which makes the cause press and push until it 'effects' its end; one should use 'cause' and 'effect' only as pure concepts, that is to say, as conventional fictions for the purpose of designation and communication-not for explanation.
