“The Christian churches and Christianity have nothing in common save in name: they are utterly hostile opposites. The churches are arrogance, violence, usurpation, rigidity, death; Christianity is humility, penitence, submissiveness, progress, life.”
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
“In speaking of so-called Christians being in church: "Just because a mouse gets in a cookie jar, doesn't make it a cookie!"”

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”
Tom Bodett
“People always ask themselves what are the answers, and within the answer that enable them to grow or to understand. I however, like to think differently. When you searching answers, you don't look for answers, rather you should look for the right question for yourself. For example, Am I worthtless? Yes, I am. but the question you should be asking is this 'What can I do to make myself worthy?' Think differently and surely, you will find yourself.”
J C A Rowe
“This Greek idea of dualism is the problem deep down, this thing of having the spiritual on one side and the profane on the other. We are still grappling with this. Spirituality is a plus, sexuality a minus”
Father Mark Montebello
