Beyond Proof

“But you do believe in God?”
“I told you so, didn’t I?  Not that you had any business asking me.”
“Then you must believe in other things?”
“Of course I do!  I believe that a man has an obligation to be merciful to the weak…  patient with the stupid…  generous to the poor.  I think he is obliged to lay down his life for his brothers, should it be required of him.  But I don’t propose to prove any of those things;  they are beyond proof.  And I don’t demand that you believe as I do.”
—    Robert A. Heinlein
From his novel:  “The Past Through Tomorrow“
