“I am not going to question your opinions. I am not going to meddle with your belief. I am not going to dictate to you mine. All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and the against. Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.”

— Frances Wright

I strongly disagree with the first three sentences.  Of course I agree with the rest, but what gets them there?  Some of these people have strong predilections and unfortunately, some of them feel no need to question their beliefs.  Therefore, they must be questioned and challenged.  Only then will some of them find reason to examine and inquire.
