I Am A Jew, But I Am

I See A Pattern, But My Imagination Cannot Picture The Maker Of That Pattern. I See A Clock, But I Cannot Envision The Clockmaker. The Human Mind Is Unable To Conceive Of The Four Dimensions, So How Can It Conceive Of A God, Before Whom A Thousand Years And A Thousand Dimensions Are As One?

The World Will Not Evolve Past Its Current State Of Crisis By Using The Same Thinking That Created The Situation.

Communities Tend To Be Guided Less Than Individuals By Conscience And A Sense Of Responsibility. How Much Misery Does This Fact Cause Mankind! It Is The Source Of Wars And Every Kind Of Oppression, Which Fill The Earth With Pain, Sighs And Bitterness.

I Cannot Conceive Of A God Who Rewards And Punishes His Creatures, Or Has A Will Of The Kind That We Experience In Ourselves. Neither Can I Nor Would I Want To Conceive Of An Individual That Survives His Physical Death; Let Feeble Souls, From Fear Or Absurd Egoism, Cherish Such Thoughts. I Am Satisfied With The Mystery Of The Eternity Of Life And With The Awareness And A Glimpse Of The Marvelous Structure Of The Existing World, Together With The Devoted Striving To Comprehend A Portion, Be It Ever So Tiny, Of The Reason That Manifests Itself In Nature.

It May Be Possible To Fight Intolerance, Stupidity, And Fanaticism Seperately, But When They Come Together There Is No Hope.
