"My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image to be servants of their human interests." -- George Santayana

How many people will claim to agree with this yet behave in total contradiction to it?

Ali G interviewing a bishop (from hazy memory):

"so, this God, he can perform miracles? Right?"
"yes, God performs miracles every day"
"so, as a mate of God's you could ask him to make this chair float"
"no"
"so he doesn't perform miracles then?"
"no, he does, but that wouldn't be a miracle. When man starts treating fellow man like his brother, that would be a miracle"

Bishop exits stage left, Ali is lost for a reply.

(Maybe not a theological quote exactly, but I liked it)

"Let us therefore give ourselves to God with a great desire to begin to live thus, and beg Him to destroy in us the life of the world of sin, and to establish His life within us."

St. John Eudes

"I would like all you women out there to cross your legs. (pause) The gates of hell have now been closed."

Billy Sunday

(I never said that this thread would not include the odd.)

If you are a Christian, you do not have to believe that all the other religions are simply wrong all through. If you are an atheist, you do have to believe that the main point in all the religions of the whole world is simply one huge mistake. If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all these religions, even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth. When I was an atheist, I had to try to persuade myself that most of the human race have always been wrong about the question that mattered to them most; when I became a Christian, I was able to take a more liberal view. But, of course, being a Christian does mean thinking that where Christianity differs from other religions, Christianity is right and they are wrong. As in arithmetic - there is only one right answer to a sum, and all other answers are wrong: but some of the wrong answers are much nearer being right than others.
C. S. Lewis

"Of the seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your toungue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back-- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you." Frederick Beuechner

"We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials."

St. Teresa of Avila

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

"Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come to being"

Teilhard de Chardin
