"Love is my religion." Bob Marley.

"Faith is the commitment of one's consciousness to beliefs for which one has no sensory evidence or rational proof. When a person rejects reason as his or her standard of judgment, only one alternative standard remains to that person: his or her feelings. A mystic is one who treats his or her feelings as tools of cognition. Faith is the equation of feelings with knowledge."
     ~Nathaniel Branden

"I find the advocacy of “universal love” puzzling – if one takes words literally. Not everyone condemns sexual promiscuity, but I have never heard of anyone who hails it as an outstanding virtue. But spiritual promiscuity? Is that an outstanding virtue? Why? Is the spirit so much less important than the body?"
     ~Nathaniel Branden
