Pragmatism asks its usual question. "Grant an idea or belief to be true," it says, "what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized?

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. ― Friedrich Nietzsche
