“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“ | |
