Deep faith is paranoia turned inside out. It is open instead of closed. It creates religion instead of secularism. It allows us to trust ourselves and others even if we and they have proven untrustworthy in the past. Religion is always telling us to forgive because without forgiveness we can't have faith. If we're paranoid, we can't forgive, and if we can't find forgiveness, chances are we're paranoid.
— Thomas Moore, The Soul's Religion
