He called for believers and unbelievers alike to avoid "the arrogance of having no doubts."

Mr. Giuliani, I believe I can honestly say I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Does that mean I'm arrogant?

Were the Apostles and other martyrs arrogant?

great quote.

there's a difference between certainty and faith. faith requires belief. you have faith, you don't know. you can wholeheartedly believe, but you still won't be completely certain...unless you've deluded yourself and confused facts with beliefs.

Because you belittle the idea of faith by subverting it with your 'absolutely no doubt whatsoever', you are indeed a bit arrogant IMO.

I pray to my bookshelf. Is that absurd or just faith?
