“Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great” LittlesChristianMysteryLettersDepth Book:Ultramontanism: Or, The Roman Church and Modern Society Source: Ultramontanism: Or, The Roman Church and Modern Society
“Sam Harris fearlessly describes a moral and intellectual emergency precipitated by religious fantasies--misguided beliefs that create suffering, that rationalize violence, that have endangered our nation and our future. His argument for the morality, the honesty, and the humility of atheism is galvanizing. It is a relief that someone has spoken so frankly, with such passion yet such rationality. Now when the subject arises, as it inevitably does, I can simply say: Read Sam Harris’ Letter to a Christian Nation.” DoeI CanChristianSufferingPassionBeliefNationsReligiousMoralFantasyViolenceAtheismSubjectsHonestyHumilityMoralityIntellectualArgumentLettersAriseReliefOur FutureRationalityEmergenciesMisguidedRationalizeChristian Nation Author:Janna Levin
“Honest rejection of Christ, however mistaken, will be forgiven and healed ... but to evade the Son of Man, to look the other way, to pretend you haven't noticed, to become suddenly absorbed in something on the other side of the street, to leave the receiver off the telephone because it might be He who was ringing up, to leave unopened certain letters in a strange handwriting because they might be from Him -- this is a different matter. You may not be certain yet whether you ought to be a Christian; but you do know you ought to be a Man, not an ostrich, hiding its head in the sand.” KnowsMenWayLooksMayDifferentMatterMightChristianCertainSidesChristStreetsHonestHavensStrangeSonOughtLettersRejectionSandHidingMistakenForgivenTelephonesBe A ManHealedReceiverHandwritingOstriches Author:C.

“This letter [to the Romans] is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.” WellsImportantSoulChristianDealsToo MuchPiecesImpossibleTasteLettersBreadTestamentNew TestamentDaily Bread Author:Martin Luther
“You would get longer livelier and more frequent letters from me, if it weren't for the Christian religion. How that bell tolling at the end of the garden, dum dum, dum dum, annoys me!
