“A society like the Church, which claims to be Divine is perhaps more dangerous on account of the ersatz good which it contains then on account of the evil which sullies it. Something of the social labelled divine: an intoxicating mixture which carries with it every sort of license. Devil disguised.” EvilSocialChurchDangerousDivineDevilAccountsClaimsCarrieLicenseMixtures Book:Gravity and Grace Source: Gravity and Grace
“Yet if anyone cares to read over the now crumbling minutes giving an account of the meetings at which the Italian Fasci di Combattimento were founded, he will find not a doctrine but a series of pointers... It may be objected that this program implies a return to the guilds (corporazioni). No matter!... I therefore hope this assembly will accept the economic claims advanced by national syndicalism.” IfsGivingMayMatterCareAcceptingEconomicMinutesReturnProgramEconomicsAccountsClaimsMeetingsSeriesDoctrineItalianFascismAssemblyCrumblingGuildsPointers Author:Benito Mussolini
“Christianity is not a patent medicine. Christianity claims to give an account of facts - to tell you what the real universe is like. Its account of the universe may be true, or it may not, and once the question is really before you, then your natural inquisitiveness must make you want to know the answer. If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.” IfsKnowsMenWantGivingBelieveMayRealFactsHelpingMightUniverseNaturalAnswersChristianityHonestAccountsClaimsMedicineBeing TrueHelpfulHonest ManUntruePatents Author:C.

“Does it take a blanket presupposition for a historian to discount some miracle stories as legendary? No, because, as even Bultmann recognized, there is no problem accepting reports even of extraordinary things that we can still verify as occurring today, like faith healings and exorcisms. However you may wish to account for them, you can go to certain meetings and see scenes somewhat resembling those in the gospels. So it is by no means a matter of rejecting all miracle stories on principle. Biblical critics are not like the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.” MayMeanDoeStillsMatterStoriesProblemTodayCertainReligionWishHealingAcceptingPrinciplesSceneAccountsMiracleClaimsMeetingsCriticsExtraordinaryParanormalReportsHistorianInvestigationBiblicalCommitteesNo ProblemBlanketLegendaryRejectingExtraordinary ThingsDiscountsVerifyExorcismFaith Healing Author:Robert M.

“That's why Apple, Microsoft and the big information technology companies have kept so much money registered abroad (although in US dollar accounts with a nominal foreign address's owner).

“Certainly each side - the 'absolutists' and the 'constructivists' or 'humanists', as I've labelled them - accuses the other of hubris, and lays claim to humility. I see hubris on both sides: a pretence that we could ascend to an objective account of the world, on the one hand, and a pretence that we have the resources to live and act without a sense of there being something to which we answerable, on the other. So both sides are 'villains'.” WorldHandsSidesHumilityResourcesAccountsClaimsLaysObjectivesVillainBoth SidesHubrisPretence Author:David E. Cooper
“The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.” MenInspirationHopeEnemySourceFutureOptimismEssenceAccountsClaimsOptimisticAbandonOptimistVitalityResignedSource Of InspirationOptimism In LifeOptimistic LifeOptimism And Hope Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The historian of science may be tempted to claim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. Led by a new paradigm, scientists adopt new instruments and look in new places. even more important, during revolutions, scientists see new and different things when looking with familiar instruments in places they have looked before. It is rather as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet where familiar objects are seen in a different light and are joined by unfamiliar ones as well.” IfsWorldWellsLooksMayImportantDifferentLightScienceCommunityObjectsPlanetsRevolutionScientistAccountsClaimsInstrumentsFamiliarTemptationChanging The WorldDifferent ThingsHistorianTemptedParadigmUnfamiliarNew Places Author:Thomas Kuhn

“I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity.
