“Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.”
Felix Adler
“Dogmatic theological statements are neither logical propositions nor poetic utterances. They are ''shaggy dog'' stories; they have a point, but he who tries too hard to get it will miss it.”
W. H. Auden
“God is sacred. Religion is profane.”
Rain Bojangles
“I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.”
Albert Einstein
“Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.”
Robert A. Heinlein
“One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.”
“The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion”
Thomas Paine
