In the end when God does speak, it is not the pious friends who are commended. God tells then they have been guilty of misrepresenting God. Only Job – only angry, defiant, doubting Job has been faithful. The story of Job reminds us that God is not offended when we question. Indeed, if anything God is offended when we speak too glibly. Make room in your heart for the angry, defiant and doubting questions. You may find God there as well. ↗

A reasonable doubt is nothing more than a doubt for which reasons can be given. The fact that 1 or 2 men out of 12 differ from the others does not establish that their doubts are reasonable. ↗

الديانة دين فادح، لا يمكن لأحد أن يوفي به، ديانتنا تديننا، تدين من دان بها بأكثر من غير المؤمنين و تدين أيضا غير المؤمنين الكل و الأب السماوي أقنوم مفارق محتجب خلف هذه الاعتقادات كلها. وهو لا يظهر لنا بتمامه لأننا لا نقدر على الإحاطة بظهوره التام هو فوق إدراكنا و هو بعيد عنا و نحن بعيدون عن بعضنا لأننا جميعا مرهونون بأوهامنا... الأقنوم ذاته وهم غامض اخترعناه و ضدقناه و اختلفنا فيه و لسوف نحارب بعضنا دوما من أجله و قد يأتي يوم يكون فيه لكل إنسان اعتقاده الخاص المختلف عن اعتقاد غيره فتنمحي الديانة من أساسها و تزول الشريعة... الأقنوم: الذات الإلهية من رواية عزازيل و حديث الراهب الفريسي لبطل الرواية حول الاختلاف في وحدانية الرب بين الطوائف المسيحيةمدان الكل ضال ↗
