"But atleast get it into your head that, if you are unable to believe, it is because of your passions, since reason impels you to believe and yet you can not do so. Concentrate then not on convincing yourself by multiplying proofs of God's existence but by diminishing your passions. You want to find faith and you do not know the road. You want to be cured of unbelief and you ask for the remedy: learn from those who were once bound like you and who now wager all they have. These are people who know the road you wish to follow, who have been cured of the affliction of which you wish to be cured: follow the way by which they began."- Blaise Pascal, Pensees
