A religion is only a system of beliefs, and to say that all beliefs deserve equal respect or acceptance is to say that ideas have no moral weight, a patent absurdity..宗教说到底只是一套信仰体系，如果说所有的信仰都该获得相同的尊重和认可，就等于说思想没有道德善恶之分，很显然这太过荒谬。

And as such, he understood perhaps better than anyone the sheer absurdity, but absolute necessity, of attempting to derive meaning from the universe of knowledge..作为图书馆员，他或许比任何人都了解，试图从知识的宇宙中产生意义，这件事是绝对荒谬的，但也是绝对必要的。
