All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

Some things come with the body and some are taught, and belief is being placed firmly in the second category. Believers and non-believers can both take that without much trouble: whatever you hold, you learned it somewhere, from a family, a place, a book, or a particular argument at a particular age. Knowing the route by which you arrived is not the same as being told the destination is wrong.

Trace one of your deepest commitments back to where it came from. Holding something you have examined is sturdier than holding something you simply absorbed, whichever way the examination comes out.
