Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. —Rainer Maria Rilke

And you thought American lawsuits were crazy...
We like to argue over whether the ten commandments can be set up in our courtrooms, what to say in the pledge of allegiance, and what to teach about the origins of the universe. But in a lawsuit in Italy, an atheist is pressing real charges against a priest for tricking the people...by claiming that Jesus existed!
When I came across that story a few days ago - I laughed so hard I cried.
