"In religious belief as elsewhere, we must take our chances, recognizing that we could be wrong, dreadfully wrong. There are no guarantees; the religious life is a venture; foolish and debilitating error is a permanent possibility. (If we can be wrong, however, we can also be right.)"

“Are you a censor? Do you tell people not to say â€œgirlâ€? Shame on you! If nothing offends you, youâ€™re a saint or youâ€™re psychotic. If a few things offend you, deal with them--fairly.
