THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 1965: "Left-wing attitudes tend not only to destroy the Faith of a man towards his religion but also the respect of one individual towards another. When the Faith is broken down everything goes with it: the family, society, the individual, the intelligence."] ARTICLE: One of the top sources of people losing their religion is leftist politics. A December 2019 study of 2,561 found Democrats brought up in religious households are roughly 3 times more likely (23% vs. 8%) to leave religion than Republicans. The study also found a high parental faith commitment is the most likely to be passed on. 93% of children of parents who show a "very high" commitment to religious practices (such as religious education, reading scripture at home, and church attendance), remained in the faith as adults. "Americans with very high levels of religious involvement during their childhood are about 10 times more likely to pray or read with their children (87%), attend worship services with them (84%), or send them to Sunday school (80%)." The survey also found ...
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2003: "[Education] must also stimulate students to consider a variety of perspectives on some of the fundamental questions: ... 'What are my duties to my fellow man, to my country and to *God*?' "] ARTICLE: For over a century, we've accepted the fiction that public institutions can be religiously neutral. The result has made secular atheism the dominant religion of American public life, all while pretending it wasn't happening. Either we all are allowed to educate our children according to our religious beliefs, or some get to impose their religious beliefs on others. There are no two ways about it. There is no such thing as a school that does not teach religion, but only a school that teaches that religion is unimportant, false, foolhardy, unrelated to "real life," or not worth considering. These are all religious teachings -- or antireligious teachings. Whatever you call them, they are not religiously neutral. They are religiously biased. According to young Americans ...
AZQUOTES.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, New York, 1983: "Those who are most qualified in scientific subjects today are often the most humble and the most convinced in their attitude to the existence of Allah."] ARTICLE: "Although a biologist, I must confess I do not understand how life came about... I consider that life only starts at the level of a functional cell. The most primitive cells may require at least several hundred different specific biological macro-molecules. How such already quite complex structures may have come together, remains a mystery to me. The possibility of the existence of a Creator, of God, represents to me a satisfactory solution to this problem." -- Werner Arber, 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Hamilton Smith and Daniel Nathans. Their work would lead to the development of recombinant DNA technology. ...

ARTOFMANLINESS.COM -- One of the keys of maturing into wisdom is realizing that the laws which govern personal development are just as immutable and invariable as the laws that govern the universe. They can no more be circumvented than can the force of gravity. We feel there must be a way to make good money, without working hard; to lose weight, without cutting calories; to drink caffeine throughout the day, and still get a good night's sleep; to get ripped, without lifting heavy weights. In a world of so much progress, it's simply hard to accept that the rules which have governed human health and happiness since time immemorial are ...
