If you desire faith, then you have faith enough.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

I haven't chosen to make an issue of faith.

An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason.

Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

You just have to have a simple faith.

I don't need faith.

There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less. But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord, and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another, especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous.

Faith itself is a horrible mechanism that stunts the growth of ideas. It also stunts the act of questioning, and it does this by pushing the idea that you have to have faith - and that nothing has to be proven.
