Fear, Blind Faith, Ignorance, Education, Science, Cowardice and Courage.
Many people are persuaded, or forced, to accept blind-faith based in fear. Some are so afraid that they cannot find the courage to debunk the junk and face facts. Increasing numbers of people no longer want to know truths they find too terrible to bear. And the struggle continues.

― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist“
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.”

“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”

“It seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does
not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death,
and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.”

When faith becomes blind it dies.”

“It’s an universal law– intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
― Walter Cronkite
“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
