5. “[W]hat characterizes genuine faith is not that it never doubts but that it perseveres to the end.”
6. Clown GOP: “What the right has is nothing but … a whine-o-sphere … who are able to make their living publishing the latest ‘leftist outrage of the day.'” Clown GOP. (Related.) Clown freethinkers—not very freethinky!
7. “We struggle to live according to our design as lovers in large measure because our attention has been stolen.” (Related.)
