Religious Police

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or police:

“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“There are all sorts of ways of murdering a person or at least his soul, and that’s something no police in the world can spot.”
