“[T]hose who make a distinction between this world and the world beyond delude themselves; at least all who are religious believe in only one world.”
—Friedrich Schleiermacher, On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), p. 16.
[Byron has more on this topic.]
Yet we can and must make a distinction between this world and this world then.
