As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.

A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. There is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.

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

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?

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

There is no hope of anyone going to Heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to Heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in Hell.

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

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn’t think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him.

To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.

Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.

From 1945 to 1974, the Western world – including America – was more socialistic than capitalistic, more pro-labor than pro-business.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

My mom is very religious – Catholic – and from a young age they brought me to the church.

There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.

A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

I’m a Christian – I really don’t believe in UFOs.

Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff.

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

Politics is the most important of the civil activities and has its own field of action, which is not that of religion.

The 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.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

Religion is not going to come up with any new arguments.

We want to answer this classical question, who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art, or whatever we do, including science or religion, tried to answer that question.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

So far as the government is concerned, there is only one holy book, which is the constitution of India. My government will not tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

I know My God commands, whose power no power resists.

I was reared in the church, in the Presbyterian Church.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

The Bible says that as Christians we don’t grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven – but we still grieve.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

We teach that God’s love for His children is infinite.

I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.

I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.

Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.

Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt.

Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.

Well 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.

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

Socialists tend to want to pay people more money to do less work, and capitalists tend to want to provide better products at better prices.

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.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

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.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.

Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity.
