The Religious Sedative

"But I say every supposed answer to the Mystery of Being is not a healing balm but rather a sedative, even a blinding dose of spiritual poison. For the minute you fill in that blank, you are exorcizing the chief source of religous awe. What once one gaped at in astonishment and unbearable awe, one now relegates to the file drawer of solved cases."

Robert M. Price, The Reason-Driven Life, p. 82
