The secret mechanism of “the eternal debate”

“It is not conflict of opinions that has made history so violent but conflict of belief in opinions, that is to say conflict of convictions.” –Friedrich Nietzsche

“But God isn’t dead!” –student at Patrick Henry College

“It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this.” –William Faulkner from his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
