D o e s God “ Do you really believe that what you believe is REALLY real?” - Dr. Del Tackett

D o e s God “ I believe that one should be agnostic when: Belief . . . is mere idle speculation, incapable of verification. When belief is held merely to gratify desires, however deep-seated. When belief may be taken by others to be more firmly grounded than it really is and so come to encourage false hopes or wrong attitudes of mind. I hold, then, that all our life long we are oscillating between conviction and caution , faith and agnosticism , belief and suspension of belief .” - Julian Huxley
