An Unexamined Life

"Few of us take the pains to study the origin of our cherished convictions; indeed, we have a natural repugnance for doing so. We like to continue to believe what we have been accustomed to accept as true, and the resentment aroused when doubt is cast upon any of our assumptions leads us to seek every manner of excuse for clinging to them. The result is that most of our so called reasoning consists in finding arguments for going on believing as we already do." ---James Harvey Robinson #atheism #religion #fail
