“Not absolute proof, but he’d wager on it.”
— Sub-Majer’s Challenge (Saga of Recluce Book 25) by L. E. Modesitt Jr.
The ONE THING for today: Agnosticism is the easiest thing in the world. There is always wiggle-room for doubt. But eventually, if you hope to do anything, be anything, achieve anything, you have to make a wager.
It happened that four lepers were sitting just outside the city gate. They said to one another, “What are we doing sitting here at death’s door? If we enter the famine-struck city we’ll die; if we stay here we’ll die. So let’s take our chances in the camp of Aram and throw ourselves on their mercy. If they receive us we’ll live, if they kill us we’ll die. We’ve got nothing to lose.”
2 Kings 7 (MSG)
