Believers reproach me for not going along with faith.
Seculars harass me with good reasons not to believe.
But I don’t think reason and faith are as estranged as night and day.
I don’t place my faith in reason,
nor do I search for reason in faith,
quite on the opposite.
I don’t believe in those who feign to believe only out of worship -
whoever says to act in faith
has only hopefully in good faith decided to decide any later.
I don’t see either how brainstrain could make a good replacement
[ for creed
When the hour comes, it is not reason but decision
that leads your head towards the net.
This is, I hope, my belief:
that I will be in good reason
once I have a reason to believe it.
