One and all, religions have their original prophets,
their sacred books, their traditions of ages gone.
One and all require us to accept without question
what other people long dead have said or written;
to obey without question the commands of those behind us….

No matter what the belief, if it had modestly said,
“This is our best thought, go on, think farther!”
then we could have smoothly outgrown our early errors
and long since have developed a religion
such as would have kept pace with an advancing world.
But we were made to believe and not allowed to think.
We were told to obey, rather than to experiment and investigate.

Yom Kippur Quotes

To be sure, our mental processes often go wrong,
so that we imagine God to have gone away.
What should be done then?
Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure.
Learn to behave thus even in deepest distress
and keep yourself that way in any and every estate of life.
I can give you no better advice than to find God where you lost him
