About This Quote
In order to believe in God, one must have passion in their heart, anguish in mind, uncertainty and doubt. In order to have these qualities, one must also have a sense of despair. The despair that makes a person feel a loss of hope and a need to know more about the world around them. The despair that leads a person to question what they already know or believe about God.
