Famous A.D. Aliwat Quotes

“The Church is as corrupt as, or more corrupt than, most people. Between the Crusades, the sex scandals over the last few decades, and everything in between, who are they to judge? That’s right: no one. They are far from perfect. Like us. But they keep trying. And they do it in a way that is simple, dependable. Familiar. And that should be worth something to someone who says they are good or are trying to be but who is in actuality bad.”

“The Bible’s imperfect, every religious text is imperfect. And that’s why they lead us closer to God. They make something simple complicated to keep our rapt attention. Like a puzzle to be worked out. Faith is a puzzle meant to take someone’s entire life to complete. But really, it doesn’t have to. It can be as easy as understanding love. That easy. Don’t just ‘be good.’ Love. Love as hard and as much as you can, especially with those who need it most. Take only what you need and give back far, far more. Love. Give love and give it without condition.”

“Really, the definition of what makes us “human” confuses me. Showing “humanity” is like this synonym for “treating others kindly” or “like you want to be treated” or whatever, when that isn’t really human at all. Whoever came up with that definition is a real scammer, and a real genius. More than anything else, humans have been terrible to each other throughout history, and this is still the way it works today and will continue to work. It’s how we’re wired. I have “human understanding”; that’s it.”
