If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that’s totally nonsense. I am just one human being.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they’re not all growing in their faith, they’re not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

I don’t think I’ve ever been an agnostic. I’ve always thought there’s a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there’s a world to come.

I’m a Christian by choice.

It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.

Proselytism is solemn nonsense; it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.

Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

The people respect and believe in men who fulfill their duty.

All those who believe in psychokinesis – raise my hand.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

Faith never makes a confession.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.

Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Base souls have no faith in great individuals.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Responsibility, I believe, accrues through privilege.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.

I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right; but it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation may be on the Lord’s side.

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.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

I answer only to God.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

It destroys one’s nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

If you are part of a religion that very strongly insists that you believe then to decide not to do that is quite a big hurdle to jump over. You never forget the thought process you went through. It becomes part of your whole intellectual picture.

I’ve had faith my whole life that there was someone looking out for me, a spirit guide, a soul guide.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.
