Beliefs should be like fluid entities within the mind, some malleable and doubtful, others more viscous and certain. But feeling certain should never be confused with being incontestable. Once a belief is allowed to solidify, it becomes like a shackle on the mind, inhibiting exploration, learning and growth. A fluid mind should never allow a belief to be so hardened that it is beyond rational scrutiny. A fluid mind always invites rational examination upon even its most cherished convictions.
- Over 30,000 people die every day on this planet from starvation.
- Most people, including religious people, don’t give a shit.
- Most religious people are more offended by the word “shit” than they are the starvation of 30,000 people a day.
