skepticism : Pr. 18:13; Pr. 18:17

"I once listened to a conversation which illustrates my thought. It was between two young men returning after the close of a summer's vacation to the college at which both were students. The principal talker was, as I discovered in the course of the afternoon, an only son. On his upper lip was the first dark shadow of a coming mustache. He possessed that peculiar wisdom which belongs in this world to only the college sophomore. He was expressing to his companion his views on the Bible and religion, said he knew too much to believe in either; admitted that his mother believed in both and read her Bible every day; said that that might do for women and children, but not for any intelligent man in the light of present scientific knowledge. You would have thought that Darwin and Huxley and Lord Kelvin had studied at his feet and that he was the Gamaliel of the present day. It is impossible to reproduce in language the self-sufficient sneering tone in which he spoke of the Bible, classing it with nursery rhymes, the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and the like, and the complacent pity with which he referred to those who were foolish enough to regard it as a sacred book. It is to be hoped that the budding sophomore lived long enough to learn that no gentleman speaks sneeringly of that which has been the life-long faith and comfort of his mother." Ref-1275, [loc. 398-404].

skullcap :

"Kippah (the Hebrew word used for the Jewish skullcap) can mean ‘vault,’ ‘arch,’ or ‘doorway,’. . ." Ref-0142, p. 147. "Practices such as wearing the yarmulke (kippah or head covering) and the tallit (prayer shawl) as separate garments, as well as specific ways in which many holidays plus the Bar/Bat Mitvah celebrations are observed, have no basis in Torah but date from Rabbinic and sometimes even medieval times." William C. Varner, "Do We Need Messianic Synagogues?", Ref-0164, 14/1 (2003):47-62(61).
