...If you question it without question -- if you don't question it, you just rely on it with faith, and the whole point of it is to make you feel better about yourself as you accomplish nothing.

...That's one of the primary elixirs that -- that -- that [it] contains.

...So I -- whether they ever get it or not. Do you expect Christians to change their mind some day? Do you expect Jews to change their minds some day? I don't think so. It doesn't really happen. You have converts now and then.

It's not quite as bad with the left, but it is -- they're more like a religion than they are an actual thoughtful intellectual reality.
