Do you really believe that what you believe is
REALLY real? - Dr. Del Tackett

• I believe that one should be agnostic when
• Belief . . . is mere idle speculation, incapable
  of verification.
• When belief is held merely to gratify desires,
  however deep-seated.
• When belief may be taken by others to be more
  firmly grounded than it really is and so come to
  encourage false hopes or wrong attitudes of mind.
• I hold, then, that all our life long we are
  oscillating between conviction and caution, faith
  and agnosticism, belief and suspension of
  belief.
• 
  - Julian Huxley
