- Mark Twain
I recently had a conversation with a friend about church. I had attended a wonderful Spiritualist service and was offering to take him along with me sometime. He was adamantly opposed to going, and when I asked him why, he said, "Well, I'll go to your church if you come with me to a church of my choosing." I said, "Absolutely!" This really surprised him, and upon reflection, he realized that he had determined what he believed was false long ago, and then in gripping that belief tightly, he'd closed himself off from everything else that could be valuable or true.
