individual to the believer.
Faith has its roots in world religions much older by centuries than the faith Graham and his fellows embrace, at the same time that it has sanctity in a personal heart and soul.
Faith should never be politicized, exploited, made exclusive, or be questioned as to its fidelity to a particular group’s dogma.
We can not establish a universal test for faith or call one kind of faith superior to another.
We must accept faith on faith’s terms.
The very essence of faith is belief in that which we can not see, can not know through all our science, and which defies our tests.
As a species, we are hard-wired for faith, an outrageous and passionate devotion to a reality we can not touch, see, prove, dispute.
Oh yee of little faith is a saying meant for Grahams’ son, for if he had enough faith, he would have no need or inclination to judge another’s.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
