A quotation from Terry Pratchett
What have I always believed?
That on the whole, and by and large, if a man lived properly, not according to what any priests said, but according to what seemed decent and honest inside, then it would, at the end, more or less, turn out all right.Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) English author

This meme provoked this Substack note: In reaction to the visual meme: I’m no fan of colonialism, empire, or hegemony, but the distinction between colonisation and ordinary acculturation may be rather thinner than we like to admit.

A quotation from Abraham Fortas
Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.
Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]More about this quote: wist.info/fortas-abe/13226/

From a scientific perspective, probably the main problem with religious people is they usually take their traditions at face value. They rarely know the identities, social contexts, or motives of scriptures' authors, or the historical layers of texts presented as unified texts or collections.
