Think about bravery with me if you would. Instances in history come to me:
Jesus, captive to conservative legalists as well as to Roman occupiers, said to a wealthy [conservative?] leader: "You know the commandments." Then he listed the social behavior commands, and left out the religious commands. That took guts!
Moving forward in history, brave men and women discounted religion, magic, superstition and kept saying: "Look at the data! Look at the data!"
If we don't understand it yet, that doesn't mean it's magic, or a curse, or inevitable.
Persecuted, burned, hung, flayed and flogged, brave thinking people paved the way for your bravery and mine in 2013.
