Liberalism is a creation of the seventeenth century, fathered by British philosopher John Locke (1632-1704). For Locke, liberalism means limited government, the rule of law, due process, liberty, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, separation of church and state, and separation of government powers into branches that oversee each other's authority.

Faith: Pretending to know things you don't know.

Christians claim that life has no meaning if you stop pretending to know things you don't know, though they phrase it more tersely as life has no meaning without faith.

Faith is an unclassified cognitive illness disguised as a moral virtue.

Just as I am not upset with somebody who has caught a cold, so too I am not upset with somebody who's caught the faith virus.

When one has a crisis of faith it means one is struck by the realisation than one has been pretending know things that one doesn't know.
