“[The] inability to comprehend fully the mysteries of God does not in any way curtail the Christian faith. On the contrary, it enhances our belief. We do not understand the intricate pattern of the stars in their courses, but we know that He who created them does, and that just as surely as He guides them, He is charting a safe course for us.”

Some people give up the pursuit of God in frustration, calling themselves “atheists” or “agnostics,” professing to be irreligious.”
