doubtful intelligence
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."I love this quote. Seems to be true of most progressive people (and faiths) that I know. A big struggle within Quakers is that there is no emphasis on telling people what Quakers believe (because you can only find it out for yourself/there is 'that of God' within you) yet many of the young members' frsutration with the Society comes from the lack of explicit teaching of Quaker principles and values. How do you teach your truth humbly, with the knowledge that there may well be other 'right' ways, and the aim that people think for themselves?-- Bertrand Russel
Russel seems to be pretty sure of his intelligent opinions though!
