Quotation of the Minute
The pragmatic suggestion, that we had better teach the Christian religion whether it is true or not, because people will be much less criminal if they believe it, is disgusting and degrading; but it is being made to us all the time, and it is a natural consequence of the fundamental religious attitude that comfort and security must always prevail over rational inquiry. — Richard Robinson ["Religion and Reason" Critiques of God (Buffalo, NY: Prometheus, 1997) p. 117.]
