Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but - more frequently than not - struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes

Summary

It implies that reason tends to undermine or challenge spiritual beliefs, doubting or rejecting anything associated with the divine.

I grew up in a family where the internalized understanding was that the kids were going to grow up into a better world. I worry, because I don't think my kids are going to have that. The world is very scary. The world would be scary without the choices the current administration made, but they just exacerbated it. And it ticks me off. I want my kids to have a good life.
