What a wonderful picture you paint. I thank you so much for those remarkable words. It is not often that we get the opportunity here in Congress to talk about these overarching issues and matters that come before us. And what a beautiful quote you read from the father of our country, George Washington, to talk about conscience and to talk about religious liberty and religious freedom. If ever there was a nation that was founded upon the principle of religious tolerance, I would suspect that it is indeed the United States of America. And maybe it is this discussion tonight that begins that call to individuals truly across America and around the world to enter into that dialogue that you talk about, because it is so extremely important that we turn away from the sword, that we move toward a path of discussion and dialogue and of joining together faith and reason so that we can walk together in peace as opposed to challenge each other to arms which was so distressing, as you mentioned, to see at the United Nations today.
