Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around. I prefer to believe that souls can exist independently from bodies.
Spiritual progress is like a detoxification
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadow for those who don't.

He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.
But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me.

It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.
God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs in the animal, and awakens in man.
One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.
Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time
Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
