Today's Christian Memory Quote

Modeled after Ray's segments for atheists, inspired by nonmagic's ninth point over at The Raytractors:

"It is a contradiction in terms and ideas to call anything a revelation that comes to us at second hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication. After this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner, for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it was made to him." -- Thomas Paine, Age of Reason
