B.
The only hope that I can imagine, and it is certainly a very fragile one, is that we all agree to believe whatever we wish and to worship as we choose, we will accept every human to be as human as we are, worthy of the same respect and care. Mankind is of a piece biologically, physiologically, and psychologically in that we all need love, peace, security, food, clothing and shelter; we must all sleep, reproduce the species and we do it the same way with the same result. In the mirror you could see me and I could see you, but our cultures have taught us to notice differences in color, speech, clothing, food, marriage, beliefs in their own distinctive way and that sets us apart.
C.
我们都信仰某物或某人。我们必须信仰,正如我们必须吃饭、睡觉和繁衍后代一样。人类信仰众神与魔鬼、巫术与人间奇迹、真理与谎言、爱与恨、同一与差异,并对这些众多信仰有着永无止境的需求和无法抗拒的吸引力。科学家们为了他们的信仰而被处死,因为他们或者认为地球是圆的;或者认为存在着一种看不见的被称为重力的自然力;或者认为地球并非宇宙的中心,而太阳也并不围绕着地球转;或者认为血液在人体内是循环流动的;或者认为人类是从低级的生命形式进化而来的。宗教领袖们用他们的关于生命的起源和道德规范的说教吸引了千百万人。如果人们不相信医学和科学,不相信宗教、教育、政府和社会契约,那么天下将会大乱,而任何社会都不会容忍这种情况,这也正是所有社会都把社会规范强加于他们的成员的原因。我们必须有所信仰,否则就得面对不能忍受的困惑和焦虑。
