I don’t believe in God but I’m very interested in her.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.

War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, ‚Hey, I did my religious duty.‘ That’s fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you’re talking to God. Even if it’s in your thoughts.

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.

I don’t think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He’s given you… but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things… he’s not a small God; this God is incredible.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

That we must love one God only is a thing so evident that it does not require miracles to prove it.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

The common question that gets asked in business is, ‚why?‘ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, ‚why not?‘

No sinner is ever saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.

There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.

Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom for himself.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.

In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help.

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.

It is well known that the Soviet Union closely regulates all organizations and movements, including religion.

Even if you’re happy with the life you’ve chosen, you’re still curious about the other options.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.

The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.

People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any forum that would require me to stop talking for three hours.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

God always wants us to be growing.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief.

If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.

Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout’s obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.

The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

The gods‘ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.

Well, I’ll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.

I’m grateful for the evangelical resurgence we’ve seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God’s doing.

Christ didn’t choose the rich to preach the doctrine; he choose 12 poor ignorant workers – that is, he chose the proletariat of the times.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.

Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument you’re advancing. If you don’t you’re as good as dead. The other person will sense that something isn’t there, and no chain of reasoning, no matter how logical or elegant or brilliant, will win your case for you.

Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.

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

I believe that I have received Jesus Christ into my heart. I believe that he has covered all of my sins.

If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once.

I have wondered about time all my life.

Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
