Quote by Irene Guy Opdyke

“We did not speak of what we had seen. At the time, to speak of it seemed worse than sacrilege: We had witnessed a thing so terrible that it acquired a dreadful holiness. It was a miracle of evil. It was not possible to say with words what we had witnessed, and so we kept it safely guarded until the time we could bring it out, and show it to others, and say, 'Behold. This is the worst thing man can do'.”

“Където и да отидеш - заговори старецът, - от теб винаги ще искат да твориш зло. Такъв е основният принцип на живота - насилието спрямо собствената личност. Всяко живо същество в някой момент от живота си се изправя пред този избор.Това е неизбежната сянка, фаталната клопка на сътворението, проклятието, което се храни от всичко живо във вселената.”

“Had God kept from being made those who through His goodness were to have existence, but who by their own choice were to become evil, then evil would have prevailed over the goodness of God. Thus, all things which God makes He makes good, but each one becomes good or evil by his own choice. So, even if the Lord did say: 'It were better for him if that man had not been born,' He did not say so in deprecation of His own creature, but in deprecation of that creature's choice and rashness.”

“As a trauma-focused therapist, experience has taught me that effective trauma therapy usually begins with building safety and stability, because deeper processing is most helpful when a person has enough internal and external support. Sometimes that means working together for a year or more before you see clients consistently practicing those skills...and that’s really okay. In fact, that kind of steady engagement is meaningful progress.”

“Richard Dawkins regards faith as an evil to be eliminated; he takes all religious faith to be blind faith. (Dawkins says) ‘Scientific belief is based on publicly checkable evidence, religious faith not only lacks evidence, its independence from evidence is its joy, shouted from the rooftops.’ However, taking Dawkins own advice we ask: where is the evidence that religious faith is not based on evidence? Mainstream Christianity will insist that faith and evidence are inseparable. Indeed, faith is a response to evidence, not a rejoicing in the absence of evidence. The apostle Paul says what many pioneers of modern science believed, that nature itself is part of the evidence for the existence of God ,‘ Since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So that men are without an excuse.’ Dawkins’ definition of faith turns out to be the direct opposite of the biblical one. Curious that he does not seem to be aware of the discrepancy.”
