religion

"We are the Bibles the world is reading; We are the creeds the world is needing; We are the sermons the world is heeding."

"Living in a world such as this is like dancing on a live volcano."

"The only interesting thing about religion is how many people it's slaughtered. Communism and Nazism are religions as well, make no mistake about it."

"…the doctrinal differences between Hinduism and Buddhism and Taoism are not anywhere near as important as doctrinal differences among Christianity and Islam and Judaism. Holy wars are not fought over them because verbalized statements about reality are never presumed to be reality itself."

"All religions are equally sublime to the ignorant, useful to the politician, and ridiculous to the philosopher."

"Guys like him, the ones who grip the Bible so tight they leave fingernail grooves, they're the ones who are the most scared of their dark side. Always going too far the other way, fighting for the Lord, often just because it gives them an excuse to fight."

"There is only one language, the language of the Heart. There is only one religion, the religion of Love."

"Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?"

"Yes, the long war on Christianity. I pray that one day we may live in an America where Christians can worship freely! In broad daylight! Openly wearing the symbols of their religion... perhaps around their necks? And maybe -- dare I dream it? -- maybe one day there can be an openly Christian President. Or, perhaps, 43 of them. Consecutively."

"Do not wait for the last judgment. It comes every day."

"If money’s the god people worship, I’d rather go worship the devil instead."

"If Christ taught us anything it is this -- not to let our fear of death keep us from doing the good thing."

"The destiny of your soul is not predicated upon acceptance of a specific dogma that happens to be "correct."A loving God does not dole out eternal condemnation because one has selected the wrong doctrine or misinterpreted scripture. On the contrary, your endeavor to understand God and the nature of the universe is a testament to your devotion."

"Whoever possesses God in their being has Him in a divine manner, and He shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see."

"Forgiveness is God's greatest gift"

"So India’s problem turns out to be the world’s problem. What happened in India has happened in God’s name.The problem’s name is God."

"There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation."

"What can you say to a man who tells you he prefers obeying God rather than men, and that as a result he's certain he'll go to heaven if he cuts your throat?"

"You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too."

"My father chose my name , and my last name was chosen by my ancestors . That’s enough, I myself choose my way"
