Quote by Doreen Virtue

“I also had this disconnect of believing that I was a Christian, but not like 'those' Christians'. I referred to myself as an 'open-minded Christian'. I thought that true Christians were always peaceful, gentle and accepting. If someone spoke up about a false teaching, I judged that person as not being a true Christian. It's so ironic that before I was saved I used to judge Christians as being judgmental. The irony was lost on me until the first time I was called a 'judgmental Christian', when I was only trying to help someone.”

“The strong counterattack against the values of the European Enlightenment has come just at the time when, for the reasons already given, the confidence of Europe in its own culture is collapsing. The result of the conjunction of these two forces is the phenomenon of multiculturalism, an ideology that celebrates cultural diversity as an unqualified good in its own right. When this ideology takes over, value judgments claiming to discriminate between different cultural traditions in terms of their intrinsic worth are ruled out of order. Cultural diversity is an unqualified good; judgments of good or bad with respect to different cultures are condemned as cultural imperialism.”

“Our entire purpose is to solve the ultimate problems of existence. The task of the meditators and the mindfulness advocates is to flee from every problem, solve no problems, and become animals, devoid of consciousness, untroubled by judgment. They dream of living non-judgmentally in the moment. That’s what cows do. The message of Eastern mysticism and New Ageism is Become a Cow!”

“Have you not come to fight against invisible foes? Did you not come here to take up the warfare against your passions? For what reason did you wish to be enlisted and take your place in the ranks of Christ’s soldiers? Was it to receive rations and pay on the same terms as they, and to sit at their table like those who on the stage eat their fill and get drunk? If that is what you think, woe to you on that day of judgment, when Christ comes “to repay every man for what he has done.”

“Mindfulness opposes judgment, conceptualization, words, language, reason, logic, knowledge, understanding, science, philosophy, mathematics, history, intellectualism, learning from the past and planning for the future. It reduces thoughtful humans to the state of thoughtless animals, prisoners of the ignorance of the moment, overwhelmed by primitive sense-certainty. And this is sold as a desirable state, something we should all aspire to!”

“They often say an idea is not as important as its execution, and that the judgment comes according to perspectives. I confess this be the truth of life. Well then, I should also calculate, that if I have an utterly cruel idea but execute it properly, people will judge me as a saviour, while if a heroic person like you fulfills his idea with the utmost sincerity, he shall be accused of villainy since he goes on extremes just to bring his idealistic vision to life. Aye, amigo – sincerity is rarely rewarded. Foxiness and hypocrisy win the hearts of the multitude, especially if one craftily hides their true intentions and desires with an innocent, hearty smile.”
