---

Great or small there are certain differences between all persons. They cannot all pursue the same ways, therefore we should let others take a different view in religion from ourselves. They vary so widely that it is an adventure for society if there exists as great a diversity of approaches as possible--they are thus better able to suit particular needs. Why should anyone be afraid of diversity in religious views, of variety in religious practices? Let heresies multiply! Let the sects flourish! For out of all this free competition, the seeker has a better chance to find truth.
