Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith,
a clean one, have something in common:
they both begin where reason ends.
Harper Lee
No man ever believes that the Bible means
what it says; He is always convinced
that is says what he means.
George Bernard Shaw
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
William Shakespeare
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and
analysis to people who are enjoying a sense
of moral superiority in their ignorance.
Thomas Sowell
Disagreement is not oppression. Argument
is not assault. Words are not violence.
The answer to speech we do not like
is more speech.
Douglas Murray
Women and freethinkers in traditional Muslim
communities inherit a double burden. If they
want to live in the modern world, they must
confront not only the theocrats, but many
secular liberals - whose apathy, sanctimony,
and hallucinations of 'racism' throw yet
another veil over their suffering.
Sam Harris
Bolshevism is to be reckoned with
Mohammedanism rather than with
Christianity and Buddhism.
Christianity and Buddhism are primarly
personal religions, with mystical doctrines
and a love of contemplation.
Mohammedanism and Bolshevism are
practical, social, unspiritual, concerned
to win the empire of the world.
Bertrand Russell
This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
The philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama
Morality is doing what is right, no matter
what you are told. Religion is doing
what you are told, no matter what is right.
H.L. Mencken
The world is my country, all mankind
are my brethren, and to do good
is my religion.
Thomas Paine
No one has ever seen God; but if we love
one another, God lives in us and his
love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:12
Man worships an invisible God
and destroys a visible Nature.
Unaware that this Nature he's destroying
is this God he's worshiping.
Hubert Reeves
Serving God is to do good,
but praying is thought an easier service
and therefore more generally chosen.
Benjamin Franklin
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.
It is daily admission of one's weakness.
It is better in prayer to have a heart without
words than words without a heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
Most people do not pray; they only beg.
George Bernard Shaw

the way of Nature and the way of Grace.
You have to decide which one you'll follow.
Terrence Malick
Love a man even in his sin, for that is
the semblance of Divine Love and
is the highest love on earth.
Love all of God's creation,
the whole and every grain of sand in it.
Love every leaf, every ray of God's light.
Love the animals, love the plants,
love everything. If you love everything,
you will perceive
the divine mystery of things.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
