| Why one ought not to demand belief.
From my signature: 'Any perspective that raises belief to a virtue necessarily makes a pariah of the skeptic- and let's not deceive ourselves: all great spirits are skeptics.' That is, even he who demands belief in the truth makes a pariah of the skeptic. To avoid this result one must refrain from demanding belief. Certainly, this consequence (of raising belief to a virtue) should not be dismissed lightly.
