What you believe matters, however. It’s all anyone has to act on. And since what you do is who you are, your actions define you.

Every one of the world's "great" religions utterly trivializes the immensity and beauty of the cosmos. Books like the Bible and the Koran get almost every significant fact about us and our world wrong.

That means that it is difficult, if not impossible, to recognize a friendship simply on the basis of what people do.
