For Man As An Historical

The Dimension Of Depth In The Consciousness Of Religion Creates The Tension Between What Is And What Ought To Be. It Bends The Bow From Which Every Arrow Of Moral Action Flies.

My Personal Attitude Toward Atheists Is The Same Attitude That I Have Toward Christians, And Would Be Governed By A Very Orthodox Text: "by Their Fruits Shall Ye Know Them." I Wouldn't Judge A Man By The Presuppositions Of His Life, But Only By The Fruits Of His Life. And The Fruits - The Relevant Fruits - Are, I'd Say, A Sense Of Charity, A Sense Of Proportion, A Sense Of Justice. And Whether The Man Is An Atheist Or A Christian, I Would Judge Him By His Fruits, And I Have Therefore Many Agnostic Friends.

The Final Wisdom Of Life Requires Not The Annulment Of Incongruity But The Achievement Of Serenity Within And Above It.

A Genuine Faith Resolves The Mystery Of Life By The Mystery Of God.
