Quote #2 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Belief and Faith

“Blind faith can justify anything. If a man believes in a different god, or even if he uses a different ritual for worshiping the same god, blind faith can decree that he should die -- on the cross, at the stake, skewered on a Crusader's sword, shot in a Beruit street, or blown up in a bar in Belfast.”
