In the course of many interesting and wonderful conversations I have felt the pressure to produce a solid belief in something. I really do feel some connection to this quote! I love a discourse with those that can passionately embrace their beliefs, without becoming angry if I question why or do not embrace the same viewpoints. I have had friends and family that literally sever ties with me simply because I cannot embrace and practice their beliefs, or that I openly question or doubt the popular faiths. I would not ever want anyone to believe as I do, to simply belong and/or agree. Why is it so difficult for them to offer me the same courtesy? Is religious and political “belief’ the death of questioning and intelligence?
