总之，我们要相信我们相信的

为人有必要了解神学观点与方法 有必要了解各种信仰 如果能寻找到一种精神力量支撑你的灵魂，那祂就是你的神，何种体验可以达致这一点？ 迷信是特定条件下实用的解决方案 古人还有选择哪一个神的烦恼，完善的信仰体系 我以为世界末日是人类不安和焦虑的终极释放和抚慰，救世的说 法为无助的人们提供希望和拯救 佛是帮人获得觉悟？ 我认为神是人对外在的拟人化的高度抽象 印度教也太扯了，人总不能把那么多俗务都外包给神吧？ 古人需要神背书，神无处不在，与人紧密联系 神圣体验有对应的大脑机制，感受，思考方式 这是你通过信仰选择相信的，没有信仰精神受苦 人性中天然存在恶的因子，一有土壤就会生长，而土壤从来不缺 神的显灵，神的愿望，神的裁决，神的惩罚……
