“Christianity has a built-in defense system: anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me.".” WayBelieveMatterFactsShowsBeliefInterestingChristianityFieldsAmountBuiltArgumentRaisedDefenseSatanLogicalMassiveSouthernMechanismBelieve In MeShow MeVery InterestingBaptistsMushroomsDefense MechanismsSouthern Baptist Author:Bill Hicks
“I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians, but if that's Christian, count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell.” IfsThinkingGivingChristianJesusChristChristianityHellJesus ChristBuiltGreedFundamentalism Author:Matthew Fox
“Men are tending to materialism. Houses, lands, and worldly goods attract their attention, and as a mirage lure them on to death. Christianity, on the other hand leads only the natural body to death, and for the spirit, it points out a house not built with hands, eternal in the heavens... Let me urge you to follow Him, not as the Nazarene, the Man of Galilee, the carpenter's son, but as the ever living spiritual person, full of love and compassion, who will stand by you in life and death and eternity.” MenPersonsBodyHandsSpiritualSpiritHouseHeavenNaturalAttentionCompassionChristianityLandHe ManSonEternalBuiltLet MeEternityLife And DeathUrgesMaterialismGoodsWorldlyLureLove And CompassionCarpenterMiragesNazarene Author:James A.

“I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office.

“We would labor earnestly to raise a believer in salvation by free will into a believer in salvation by grace, for we long to see all religious teaching built upon the solid rock of truth and not upon the sand of imagination. At the same time, our grand object is not the revision of opinions, but the regeneration of natures. We should bring men to Christ, not to our own particular views of Christianity.” MenShouldLongChristImaginationReligiousViewsChristianityOpinionGraceTeachingRocksObjectsParticularBuiltLaborRaisesSalvationBelieverSandFree WillSanctificationRevisionRegeneration Book:Select Works Source: Select Works
