Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted, in spite of your changing moods.
Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.
The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.
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.
Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important.
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven
God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.
Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time
Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.
It is so hard to believe because it is so hard to obey.
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
