Religio Quotes

“The Men, who have taken care to engross the affairs of Religion, as well as others, to their own management, are no more guided in that than in any thing else by the dictates of reason. The religion they were bred up in, they blindly prefer to all others, without being able to give any stronger proof of it's being the best, than that it was the Faith of their fore-fathers. Upon the strength of this prejudice, they adhere to it as the only true one, and without ever examining into it, or comparing it with others; they condemn all beside it as erroneous. Is not this the case with most of the Men, our clergy not excepted? No country pleases a man so well as his own; nay, so far is he apt to carry prejudice, that he can seldom be induced to do justice to any other nation, even where truth is on it's side, if the honour and interest of his own is at stake: And this is a foible the very best Men are equally subject to. Nay, such is the imbecility of that sex, as well as ours, that even professions are a matter of prejudice.”

“Dios se sirve de la enfermedad para mostrarnos facetas escondidas y sorprendentes del ser humano, la enfermedad tiene un sentido profundo y oculto que sólo la persona creyente puede descubrir, toda auténtica curación lleva consigo una cierta «pérdida» y Dios se revela y salva asumiendo precisamente nuestra frágil y débil condición.”
