If you will pull out your Strong’s Concordance and translate those same four words, you won’t get the same results that Daniel got. Was Daniel using a different method than modern Christians? Yes, obviously.”

These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty.

“If this past election and our present political, social, and environmental upheavals have done nothing else, they have inspired a new generation of thinkers. From poets to activists to journalists to scholars, the raw and gritty realities we face as a nation and as global citizens are being exposed, dissected, and examined. Freedom of the press, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, and the right to peacefully protest are not the luxuries of a free society, they are the defenders,supporters, and protectors of a free society. They are what make a free society possible. The solutions to our problems will no doubt be lengthy, complex, and difficult, but a generation awakened from the lethal sleep of apathy is a beginning. And that offers true hope for our future.”

“If this really is true, then greed really isn't good, after all. It really isn't the way to maximize the best possible outcome. We really do need to come together and act collectively. Government isn't always the problem. It's sometimes the solution. And, so their whole intellectual scaffolding collapses. So, they'd rather deny the science.”

“If this something is only the Universe we are able and capable of experiencing, or if we imagine the Universe, which is, most likely, the real, much bigger one, the space would still bear the characteristics and “colors” of the one we can experience. Beyond this realm, there would be no other point of reference (Universe), and this Universe would be only a speck in the realm of nothingness. Even if this Universe emanates some of its fundamental forces into the realm of nothingness, this would still be of minimal reach regarding the potential “vastness” of “space” (vacuum) outside that universe. With one Universe like this, there would still be no distance between it and anything else and outside of it (or, precisely, after some point outside of it); time and space, as we understand them, would not exist.”

“If this turns to friendship, it only means
That one of us will suffer.
That when we meet after the worst of endings,
There will only be this skein of words between us—
Most of them for boredom, fewer for loneliness—
Rising out of our mutual space of breath, leaving
Behind a bluer sky each moment of departure.
And one of us will cling on to its blue,
Hung on partings like a muted cloud, while
The other rides on a wing of word away from here.”

“If this understanding of the good news of Jesus prevailed among Christians, the belief that Jesus’s message is about how to get somewhere else, you could possibly end up with a world in which millions of people were starving, thirsty, and poor; the earth was being exploited and polluted; disease and despair were everywhere; and Christians weren’t known for doing much about it. If it got bad enough, you might even have people rejecting Jesus because of how his followers lived. That would be tragic.”
