“Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive unfaith because it closes the mind to any new version of the world. Faith is, above all, openness—an act of trust in the unknown.”

To Chick-Fil-A, Truett Cathy, and the WinShape Foundation:

It is with a heavy heart that I write to you saying that I can no longer, in good conscience, patronize your establishment. Nor can I partake of your delicious, succulent, juicy chicken.

I mean, I would like to. Oh trust me, I would!…

“I am increasingly unimpressed with what people call ‘orthodox’ Christianity. It has become a kind of religious straitjacket into which all Christians must be bound or face expulsion from the faith community by those who think of themselves as the true believers. To be called an orthodox Christian does not mean that one’s point of view is right. It only means that this point of view won out in the ancient debate.”

“Rationality is the capacity to make problematic what had hitherto been treated as given; to bring to reflection what before had only been used; to transform resource into topic; to examine critically the life we lead. This view of rationality situates it in the capacity to think about our thinking. Rationality as reflexivity about our groundings premises an ability to speak about our speech and the factors that ground it. Rationality is thus located in metacommunication.”

- Alvin Gouldner, The Dialectic of Ideology and Technology, p. 49
