Chrisitanity Quotes

“All Abrahamists worship God as a king, not as a divinity that transcends the human condition. They are locked into an ancient and pathetic mindset based on the power of megalomaniacal monarchs. They are on their knees because that’s what ancient peoples did in the presence of kings. In the modern day, they worship the rich, just as they once worshipped monarchs.”

“My prayer for you: Know the Lord in greater depth. Abide in the presence of God. Live under the shelter of most High,God. Remain under the shadow of God’s grace in Jesus Name.Amen.”

“And do you think," said the schoolmaster, marking the glance she had thrown around, "That an unvisited grave, withered tree, a faded flower or two, tokens of forgetfulness or cold neglect? Do you think there are no deeds, far away from here, in which these dead may be best remembered?

Женщины должны были целовать своих родственников для того, чтобы последние могли судить о первых по их дыханию. Где то счастие браков, которое зависело, конечно, от добрых нравов и благодаря чему почти в течение 600 лет от основания Рима ни один брак не был расторгнут?" Апологетик, Книга Первая, 4-6.”
