The compulsive quest for certainty is not the expression of genuine faith but is rooted in the need to conquer the unbearable doubt.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
— Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)
Doubt
My hosannahs have all be forged in the crucible of doubt.
