There may be some wrongs we can never fully right.  We don’t worry about them if we can honestly say to ourselves that we would right them if we could.  Some people cannot be seen—we send them an honest letter.  And there may be a valid reason for postponement in some cases.  But we don’t delay if it can be avoided.  We should be sensible, tactful, considerate and humble without being servile or scraping.  As God’s people we stand on our feet; we don’t crawl before anyone.

Logic is great stuff.  We liked it.  We still like it.  It is not by chance we were given the power to reason, to examine the evidence of our senses, and to draw conclusions.  That is one of man’s magnificent attributes.  We agnostically inclined would not feel satisfied with a proposal which does not lend itself to reasonable approach and interpretation.  Hence we are at pains to tell why we think our present faith is reasonable, why we think it more sane and logical to believe than not to believe, why we say our former thinking was soft and mushy when we threw up our hands in doubt and said, “We don’t know.”
