You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

Every day I pray about all I do.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

I answer only to God.

Beto’s copy of the Bill of Rights goes from one to three. Mine includes the Second Amendment. But there are a whole host of people here in Washington… they would be happy to confiscate America’s guns. And if you don’t believe that, then you probably also still believe in Bigfoot.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

Man’s nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

Satan is the master distracter. He is always working to keep us off track in our walk with God.

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

One of the greatest lessons of my own life was learning to turn the inner rampage of hatred and anger toward my own father for his reprehensible behavior and abandonment of his family into an inner reaction more closely aligned with God and God-realized love.

Freedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

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

Whether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that’s important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.

I believe that Jesus realized his oneness with God and he showed, what he attempted to do was show the way to all of us, how to realize our own onenes with God also, so he’s a precursor.

I was raised a Catholic on both sides of the family. I went to a Catholic grade school and thought everybody in the country was Catholic, because that’s all I ever was associated with.

The suicide-bombing community is not absolutely 100 percent religious, but it is pretty nearly 100 percent religious.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

If there really is a god, then he really looks after me.

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

Every religious group, while perhaps a majority somewhere, is also inevitably a minority somewhere else. Thus, religious organizations should and do show tolerance toward members of other religious denominations.

Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

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 have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don’t think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that… we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and… preposterous.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

Nothing fortifies scepticism more than the fact that there are some who are not sceptics; if all were so, they would be wrong.

O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

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

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

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

I’ll never make it, it will never happen, because they’re never going to hear me ‚cause they’re screaming all the time.

The most effective prayers are usually the simple prayers.

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