Hedges:  “Dan provided, for me, the most cogent definition of religious faith: Dan said, ‘The good is to be done because it is good, not because it goes somewhere.  I believe that if it is done in that spirit, it will go somewhere, but I don’t know where.  I don’t think the Bible grants us to know where goodness goes, what direction, what force.  I have never been seriously interested in the outcome.  I was interested in trying to do it humanely and carefully and nonviolently and let it go.’”
