Food for Thought

• "Fear of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publically allowed [is] religion; not allowed superstition." (from Hobbes' Leviathon)
• Wolff: "[T]he closer we look into the matter, the harder it becomes to identify the traits or characteristics that clearly distinguish what we are inclined to consider genuine religions from what we want to dismiss as cults." (450)
