The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

I think, for years, people have been pushed down by religion, and I don’t say that disrespectfully, but they’ve been shown a God that you can’t measure up to.

I believe that the primary role of the government is to protect people and not run their lives. You used to be able to believe that in the Democratic Party.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
