“The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost their power of reasoning”
Voltaire
“The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it.”
“I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's”
Mark Twain
“Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.”
C.S. Lewis
“The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.”
George Bernard Shaw
“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.”
Stanley Lindquist
“If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be - a Christian”
