uncertain tea

"the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty"

"Certainty: Christian Basics Bible Studies"

"I think it is the job of leaders to eliminate uncertainty."

"The leader must know,
must know that he knows,
and must be able to make it abundantly clear to those about him

Objectively defined, certainty is total continuity and validity of all foundational inquiry, to the highest degree of precision. Something is certain only if no skepticism can occur."
-Wikipedia, Link
