I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.

Some people mistakenly think nature is very nice and benevolent and never betrays.

World War II broke out in 1939, and many people credit that war with saving the economy.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

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

No war is over until the enemy says it’s over.

I think what you’re seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they’ve got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

God’s first creature, which was light.

We can learn to see each other and see ourselves in each other and recognize that human beings are more alike than we are unalike.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

Religion is just mind control.

Don’t let anybody make you think God chose America as His divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world.

War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits.

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn’t believe that, about other possibilities?

Racism is real in this country.

One of the problems of organizing in the North, in the rich countries, is that people tend to think – even the activists – that instant gratification is required. You constantly hear: ‚Look I went to a demonstration, and we didn’t stop the war so what’s the use of doing it again?‘

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.

The Gospel has never changed.

The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.

Certain though I am – and ever more certain – that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.

If you want to make computers that really work, create a design team composed only of healthy, active women with lots else to do in their lives, and give them carte blanche.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

We make war that we may live in peace.

We still have many neighborhoods that are racially identified. We still have many schools that even though the days of state-enforced segregation are gone, segregation because of geographical boundaries remains.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Religion which requires persecution to sustain, it is of the devil’s propagation.

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.

Foreignness is all around. Only in the heart of the heart of the country, namely the heart of the United States, can you avoid such a thing. In the center of an empire, you can think of your experience as universal. Outside the empire or on the fringes of the empire, you cannot.

God is so big. It’s a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we’re small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.

America isn’t Congress. America isn’t Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger.

Washington still refuses to provide evidence to support the claims in 1990 that a huge Iraqi military build-up on the Saudi border justified war.

Our God is a forgiving God.

I’ve always believed in God. I also think that’s the sort of thing that either comes as part of the equipment, the capacity to believe, or at some point in your life, when you’re in a position where you actually need help from a power greater than yourself, you simply make an agreement.

When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
