god

"God is dead and I am his replacement."

"To question the world around us and all its complexities is not blasphamy, but simply using the mind God gave us for its intended purpous. God is an artist. Artist do not create to have someone just glance and say "That is pretty."Artist want viewers to look closer, deeper--to really see what they have created--not just glance."

"It was by faith, nothing wavering, that Joseph saw God our Eternal Father and Jesus Christ, His Son."

"When we try to focus our thought upon One who is pure uncreated being we may see nothing at all, for He dwelleth in light that no man can approach unto. Only by faith and love are we able to glimpse Him as He passes by our shelter in the cleft of the rock."

"Every single human being should be the fulfilment of a prophecy: for every human being should be the realisation of some ideal, either in the mind of God or in the mind of man."

"The mind of God is a mystery and none can understand it."

"God's only excuse is that he does not exist"

"There's a major fault in Western society. It makes room for only one god, and in only one gender. There's no balance, no co-existence, no partnership."

"Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them."

"Down on the lake rosy reflections of celestial vapor appeared, and I said, "God, I love you"and looked to the sky and really meant it. "I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or the other."To the children and the innocent it's all the same."

"We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be."

"Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action."

"It did not look like the work of God, but it might have represented the handicraft of a God with a joyous sense of humor, a dancing God who loved mischief as much as prayer, and playfulness as much as mischief."

"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?"

"For years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

"Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"Priest: "No, not if you did not know."Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

"I won't put my ignorance on an altar and call it God. It feels like idolatry, like the worst kind of idolatry."

"But what of faith? What of fidelity and loyalty? Complete trust? Faith is not granted by tangible proof. It comes from the heart and the soul. If a person needs proof of god's existence, then the very notion of spirituality is diminished into sensuality and we have reduced what is holy into what is logical.-Drizzt Do'urden"

"يبدو اننا جميعا بحاجة كي نؤمن بأحد ما أو شيء ما. فالحياة دون معنى او اتجاه بائسة حقا. ويبدوانه يتوجب ان نحيا من اجل هدف او شيء ما عزيز علينا ونموت من اجله، سواء كان هذا الهدف او الشيء مبدأ سياسي او خطة حياتية او أمة اوحلما او فكرة او مالا او اسرة. اعتقد ان التقديس هو جبلة في الانسان، وأن قدرنا هو أن نكون عبيدا سواء شئنا ذلك ام ابينا."

"So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man,When Duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth whispers, 'I can."
