"Yes, I believe in Jesus. I'm just not a door to door salesman."

I came to make a quick post of a thought I was having. The thought: If we believe that we hold the truth and that that truth is prevailing; then why do we have to force it so and get offended so when others do not choose it? If this truth is all power than shouldn't we trust the truth to do the work instead of our own persuasion? As I pondered these things and was reading some words from a great man, Thomas Jefferson, I was pleasantly surprised to find him state this idea entirely more elequant than I.

"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 10, 1787
