Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Practice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.
Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.
Why do you not practice what you preach.
Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.
A good argument, like a good dialogue, is always a proof of life, but I'd much rather go and read a book.
Being a skeptic just means being rational and empirical: thinking and seeing before believing.
Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.
I thought maybe, just by never preaching, never doing any of that stuff because it doesn't work. By just maybe the power of example and some laughs, maybe somebody might go take a walk.
In science, a healthy skepticism is a professional necessity, whereas in religion, having belief without evidence is regarded as a virtue.
There are two ways to slice easily thorugh life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.
