Sidney Sperry and Peanuts

I ran across the following quote from Sidney B. Sperry:

Too many persons in every generation, including our own, hope for things—fantastic things—in the name of faith and religion, but give little thought as to whether or not they are based on truth.

I had been kind of hanging on to this quote, but I thought it went well with the Peanuts strip of Nov 1.

Linus complains,

I believed in the "Great Pumpkin" with every fiber of my being!

Charlie Brown:

In all the world there is nothing more upsetting than the clobbering of a cherished belief.
