“one of the requirements for being religious is that you're easily suggestible.”
Very wise. I have to say I definitely agree. The examples or countless: Augustine, Aquinas, William of Ockham, Thomas More, Descartes, Pascal, Cardinal Newman, Belloc, and Chesterton. Oh, and we mustn’t forget Charlemagne. What an impressionable lightweight he was. We also should remember Grosseteste, Roger Bacon, Oresme, Copernicus, William Turner, Kepler, Boyle, Newton, Linnaeus, and Schawlow. And finally, we need to add Albertus Magnus (1193-1280) to the list for his foolish idea, "Natural science does not consist in ratifying what others have said, but in seeking the causes of phenomena."
