Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

I answer only to God.

When we speak of faith – the faith that can move mountains – we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

Three o’clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.

I always say that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion.

And if a person is religious, I think it’s good, it helps you a bit. But if you’re not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

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.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

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

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

Such is the feebleness of humanity, such is its perversity, that doubtless it is better for it to be subject to all possible superstitions, as long as they are not murderous, than to live without religion.

Martyrs do not underrate the body, they allow it to be elevated on the cross. In this they are at one with their antagonists.

Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.

We all dream. We dream vividly, depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation, whether we believe in God or we have religion or we’re atheist.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

Is man one of God’s blunders? Or is God one of man’s blunders?

To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.

Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals, and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live.

Every child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world… to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

Theology is unnecessary.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

Union of religious sentiments begets a surprising confidence.

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.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

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

I’m a strict, strict agnostic. It’s very different from a casual, ‚I don’t know.‘ It’s that you cannot present as knowledge something that is not knowledge. You can present it as faith, you can present it as belief, but you can’t present it as fact.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs, these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge: the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race – racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic – what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.

I can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.

The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‚Father, the atheists?‘ Even the atheists. Everyone!

Religion is part of the human make-up. It’s also part of our cultural and intellectual history. Religion was our first attempt at literature, the texts, our first attempt at cosmology, making sense of where we are in the universe, our first attempt at health care, believing in faith healing, our first attempt at philosophy.

I don’t believe in the after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.
