But it is the best I have. That is a mighty sight better than some other people's at that. I am an agnostic because no man living can form any picture of any God, and you can't believe in an object unless you can form a picture of it. You way believe in the force, but not in the object. If there is any God in the universe I don't know it.
Some people say they know it instinctively.
Well, the errors and foolish things that men have known instinctively are so many we can't talk about them. As a rule, the less a person knows, the surer he is, and he gets it by instinct, and it can't be disputed, for I don't know what is going on in another man's mind. I have no such instinct. Let me give you just one more idea of a miracle of this Jesus story which has run down through the ages and is not at all the sole property of the Christian. You remember, when Jesus was born in a manger, according to the story, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.
