Hıristiyan inanç sistemi bana bir tür ateizm olarak görünmektedir; Tanrı’nın bir tür dinsel ink rı. Tanrı’dan çok bir adama inanmayla kendini ifade etmektedir. Ana maddesi insana inanmak, yardımcı maddesi olağanüstü bir varlığa inanmak olan bu...

Now from science we have a new creation story, which is very alluring and very exciting. It’s not about deposing all the other wisdom stories about creation that humanity has gathered, but it certainly supplements...

Religion is nothing but institutionalized mysticism. The catch is, mysticism does not lend itself to institutionalization. The moment we attempt to organize mysticism, we destroy its essence. Religion, then, is mysticism in which the mystical...

The Way is not in the sky; the Way is in the heart.

Your faith is designed to operate outside of your emotions. When you operate in faith, how you feel has no bearing on how you respond. Faith does not need your emotions to confirm what you...

TO WHOM LIFE IS AN EXPERIENCE TO BE CARRIED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE… I have not meant to express my thought but to help you clarify what you yourself think… You are not any more...

They, who have no eyes in their face, are not called blind. They alone are blind, O Nanak, who stray away from their Lord.

Agama Islam, suatu agama yang telah pernah menakhlukan dunia, telah dua kali membangun imperium yang kalaulah tidak meluas sejagad, setidak-tidaknya di bawah suatu panji politik tunggal telah menyatukan seluruh atau bagian terbesar rakyat-rakyat yang telah...

The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn...

You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to...

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

Une guerre à outrance contre la religion, la société, la famille, la propriété, tout ce que la Révolution n’a pas fait, elle le hait ; tout ce qu’elle hait, elle le détruit. Donnez-lui aujourd’hui le...

When hiding ourselves behind religiosity becomes the order of the day, grace is left by the wayside; without being honest about our own sin, we will never show compassion toward others. If we are to...

Don’t argue with the person who puts his knowledge above everyone’s else’s; you’ll always lose in that respect. But, in reality, he is the loser because he has put himself in a position where he...

The only thing that is still free in this world is religion, which is why a lot of people “find it.

God is the color of water. Water doesn’t have a color.

From the first day we have been fighting the wrong enemy; our common enemy is religion which dictates upon us division and partition.

Spirituality, for someone like me who doesn’t believe in God, in the existence of soul, in something after-death, is the capacity to love and to understand others – humans, and animals – is the capacity...

The problem is not religion but the void that creates religions.

Antisemitism is unique among religious hatreds. It is a racist conspiracy theory fashioned for the needs of messianic and brutal rulers, as dictators from the Tsars to the Islamists via the Nazis have shown. Many...

… challenge the church to do better, be more of who Christ wants us to be …

There are always more questions… But I know one thing that is true: I have been saved by Jesus Christ, and I’m eternally grateful for that.

I hope we gave them that sense of belonging because I know there’ll be times in their lives when grasping at those bonds could mean the difference between making it and not.

My heart is too valuable to allow hatred and jealousy to rent a spot.

Numai religiile proaste sunt dependente de mistere, așa cum guvernele proaste depind de polițiile secrete – Goodwin Baxter

You can have Jesus in your spirit and have an outrageous mess in your soul, and if you don’t know what that’s called, it’s called religion.

I don’t try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.

When Jesus isn’t our everything, our enough, we pursue every other thing that fills.

Finally, let them recognise that there are two kinds of people one can call reasonable; those who serve God with all their heart because they know Him, and those who seek Him with all their...

Tie me up, please…” Chantal said. They looked above at some vines and roots hanging down from the grassy area above the depression in the canal they were standing in. She was in his hands—he...

I frowned at him. “Isn’t sarcasm the opiate of the masses?””You’re thinking of religion,” he replied. “Sarcasm is the Xanax of the morally bereft.

I asked myself what I believed. I had never prayed a lot. I hoped hard, wished hard, but I didn’t pray. I had developed a certain distrust of organised religion growing up, but I felt...

Jehovah’s Witness are welcomed into my home…You gotta respect anybody who gets all dressed up in Sunday clothes and goes door-to-door on days so hot their high heels sink a half-inch into the pavement.The trick...

Aging and the prospect of dying by no means enhance the attractiveness of fictitious comforts to come in paradise, or the veracity of malicious myths about hellfire and damnation. Fear and feeblemindedness cannot be credibly...

Spiritual fulfillment doesn’t have to mean belief in a religion or disbelief in science. … Whether one believes in an unseen, all-knowing force, or the wonder of science and the universe, or simply the beauty...

Bib Block was sure that in any part of the country at all, whenever the name of this road was mentioned, people’s hearts pivoted like Moslems to the east and flopped over. Sooner of later,...

You know, it’s a sad and unfortunate state of affairs that you have to live in a world where eight-year-olds refuse to believe in anything that they cannot touch or measure, and anyone who happens...

I loved my father, but I was not like him. I never needed to believe the best of people. I took them as they were: two-faced, desperate, kind – perhaps all at once. But to...

The world in which we now live is a world whose outlook is so distorted that we absolutize what is relative (money-making, power, success) and relativize what is absolute (truth, moral values, and God).

Unless a person can give reasons, there is, literally, no reason why anyone else should take that person seriously. But without reasons, all we are left with is emotional blackmail. We sometimes call it ‘moral...

Differ though we might with Christianity’s view of what precisely our souls need, it is hard to discredit the provocative underlying thesis, which seems no less relevant in the secular realm than in the religious...

If I had said that I didn’t want to know if Christianity was true, David would not have pursued our conversations any further. He had long before realized that people who want to avoid the...

Of all the wars that have taken place wince then, none has endured so long as the conflict between knowledge and belief. For centuries now, knowledge has attempted, unsuccessfully, to supersede belief. But the entire...

That’s the funny thing about religion: it doesn’t matter what you say, you’re going to upset someone.

I’m through with you. Yes, I am going to put you down. From now on, I am my own God. I am going to live by the rules I se for myself. I’ll discard everything...

Faith does not imply a closed, but an open mind. Quite the opposite of blindness, faith appreciates the vast spiritual realities that materialist overlook by getting trapped in the purely physical.

I love the freedom of my wings. I love the empty space above the ground. I rejoice in my freedom. Freedom is my religion. Peace is my God. Love is my worship.

That He cares.
