"It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. If a man; holding a belief which he was taught in childhood or persuaded of afterward, keeps down and pushes away any doubts which arise about it in his mind, purposely avoids the reading of books and the company of [wo]men that call in question or discuss it, and regards as impious those questions which cannot easily be asked without disturbing it—the life of that man is one lengthy sin against mankind."
