Jon Meacham Zitate

An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein ungeprüfter Glaube ist nicht wert, da Fundamentalismus und unkritische Gewissheit die Ablehnung einer der großen menschlichen Gaben erfordern: die des freien Willens, der Freiheit, sich auf der Grundlage von Beweisen, Tradition und Vernunft zu entscheiden.

I'm very much interested in having people take herbs that make them feel good because if they do that, they'll have an experience, and they'll say, 'Oh, this is real.' This is something you take, and you don't have to go on faith, but you can feel the difference.

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt, to get to the point of having nothing, for me to finally realize, Hey, what are you fighting with this for? Until then, I hadn't claimed my faith as my own; I had just grown up with it.

I grew up in a Jewish family, and we have raised our children in a Jewish tradition. Religion gives a framework for moral enquiry in young minds and points us to questions beyond the material.
