Belief

“That belief is as a matter of fact, quite contrary to faith, because belief is really wishing it's from the anglo Saxon root Leif to wish and belief, stated, say in the creed, is a fervent hope that the universe will turn out to be thus and so. And in this sense therefore belief precludes the possibility of faith, because faith is openness to truth, to reality, whatever it may turn out to be.”

“Belief is a toxic and dangerous attitude toward reality I think. After all if it's there it doesn't require your belief and if it's not there why should you believe in it?”
