Guest guest Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Religion does not live on bread, does not dwell in a house. Again and again you hear this objection advanced: " What good can religion do? Can it take away the poverty of the poor? " Supposing it cannot, would that prove the untruth of religion? Suppose a baby stands up among you when you are trying to demonstrate an astronomical theorem, and says, " Does it bring gingerbread? " " No, it does not " , you answer. " Then, " says the baby, " it is useless. " Babies judge the whole universe from their own standpoint, that of producing gingerbread, and so do the babies of the world. We must not judge of higher things from a low standpoint. Everything must be judged by its own standard and the infinite must be judged by the standard of infinity.
