Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? that religion which god requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference.

Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, i reject a limine. physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. the aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. all of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. if it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.

But yet it is evident that religion consists so much in affection, as that without holy affection there is no true religion; and no light in the understanding is good which does not produce holy affection in the heart: no habit or principle in the heart is good which has no such exercise; and no external fruit is good which does not proceed from such exercises.
