“Punk can be a mental ghetto. People get into it and make all these rules and pretty soon they're worse than born again Christians and have stupid three hour conversation about things like, which band is a sellout and is straight edge cool or un-cool and it's just completely idiotic. So punk has taught me the aesthetic of the outsider, which is great, but it's also taught me not to get involved in petty little cults.” PeopleLittlesChristianThreeBornHoursStupidTaughtInvolvedBandConversationEdgesAestheticPunkOutsidersCultPettyGet InvolvedGhettoBorn AgainIdioticStraight Edge Author:Jesse Michaels
“Orthodox Christians have the habit of claiming all great men, all men who have held important positions, men of reputation, men of wealth. As soon as the funeral is over clergymen begin to relate imaginary conversations with the deceased, and in a very little while the great man is changed to a Christian - possibly to a saint.” MenLittlesImportantChristianWealthAtheismPositionChangedHabitConversationSaintPositive AtheismReputationRelateGreat MenOrthodoxFuneralImaginaryOrthodox ChristianClergymenDeceased Book:The Works of Robert G.

“Let us resolve to talk more to believers about the Bible when we meet them. Alas, the conversation of Christians, when they do meet, is often sadly unprofitable! How many frivolous, and trifling, and uncharitable things are said! Let us bring out the Bible more, and it will help to drive the devil away, and keep our hearts in tune. Oh, that we may all strive so to walk together in this evil world; that Jesus may often draw near, and go with us, as He went with the two disciples journeying to Emmaus!” WorldHeartMaySaidTwoHelpingChristianTogetherEvilJesusWalksConversationDrawsDevilStriveBelieverTunesResolveDiscipleAlasFrivolousTriflingEvil World Book:Why Read the Bible Through & How Readest Thou?
