"The consequence of declaring any part of human experience and action to be beyond reason is not to eliminate it from existence but to live it subject to unregulated passion, to uncriticized custom, or to evil imaginations of the heart. Anyone who affirms the irrationality of the moral and religious life simply abandons the effort to discipline this life, to find right images by means of which to understand himself, his sorrows and joys. Such positivism leaves the door of human moral life wide open to the appearance of anarchy and the sway of primitive emotion accompanied by primitive mythology." - H. Richard Niebuhr
