Thought for Today
“Skepticism
has an important place in critical
engagement. It is part of the apparatus
of reflection and discernment. But
skepticism can become a form of bad faith too, a reflexive paradigm of doubt
that distorts our perceptions the way cataracts cloud sight. When you are stalking the miraculous, you
need both doubt and faith.”
