I keep this fortune in my phone behind the battery cover as a constant reminder.
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance."
Also known as: blind faith...not WANTING to know.
I also have another fortune taped to my refrigerator.
"Do not seek to find the answer so much as to understand the question better."
To me this is indicative of what science, at its very best, tries to accomplish: understanding the question better. Not, conversely, what religion tries to do, which is invent an arbitrary name for one thing as an answer to another thing, not realizing that in doing so, it only raises more unanswerable questions.

- Welcome to The Secular Gospel According to Jess! In this blog you’ll find everything from cartoons that make me laugh, to quotes that inspire me, to stories of my own personal experience when it comes to dealing with religion and pretty much everything in between. The title of my blog is intended to be ironic, as one doesn’t often hear the word, “gospel”, associated with secularism, but my intent is to preach, for lack of a better word, what I think gospel should really be about: love, rationalism, fairness, equality, human rights, science and truth. Enjoy!
