God’s first creature, which was light.

Lucius Annaeus SenecaThe heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.
Helen KellerIn the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

Mr. TIt was the experience of mystery – even if mixed with fear – that engendered religion.
Albert EinsteinThe humanists‘ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

Paulo CoelhoIf ever I expected to come face to face with an angry Christian fundamentalist, it wasn’t in FAO Schwarz.
J. K. RowlingI don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
Isaac AsimovToo many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Henry David ThoreauI am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

Mahatma GandhiA consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.
Benjamin DisraeliI got a chain letter by fax. It’s very simple. You just fax a dollar bill to everybody on the list.

Joel OsteenI don’t believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Woody AllenI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. LewisWell look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

C. S. LewisMy belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

Joyce MeyerBefore the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich NietzscheEvery religious group, while perhaps a majority somewhere, is also inevitably a minority somewhere else. Thus, religious organizations should and do show tolerance toward members of other religious denominations.
