Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Not mine of course... but rather from Immanuel Kant writing about 18th century Germany, but in terms that are still applicable today:

"Our age is the age of criticism, to which everything
must be subjected. The sacredness of religion, and the
authority of legislation, are by many regraded as grounds
for exemption from the examination of this tribunal.
But, if they are exempted, they become the subjects of
just suspicion, and cannot lay claim to sincere respect,
which reason accords only to that which has stood the
test of a free and public examination."
