I wanted to post something but can't think of anything. Well, i could, but better not, for the lack of time shackles me like a short leash restrains an elephant wearing a pretty pink tu-tu. But i read this quote today that i thought was interesting.
Excerpt taken from Yan Martell, "Life of Pi".

It's not atheists that get stuck in my craw, but agnostics. Doubt is useful for a while. We must all pass through the Garden of Gethsemane. If Christ played with doubt, so must we. If Christ spent an anguished night in prayer, if He burst out form the Cross, "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?", then surely we are permitted to doubt. But we must move on*. To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."

Now I've just started this book, which is evident because this quote is on page 31. But so far, it looks like a great book. He has a very interesting philosophy in regards to animals in the zoo vs. the wild.

Italics by yours truly.
