“Next to praying there is nothing so important in practical religion as Bible reading. By reading that book we may learn what to believe, what to be, and what to do; how to live with comfort, and how to die in peace.” Happy is that man who possesses a Bible! Happier still is he who reads it! Happiest of all is he who not only reads it, but obeys it, and makes it the rule of his faith and practice!” MenBelieveMayStillsImportantBookDiesReadingNextPracticePrayingComfortPracticalsBible Reading Author:J.

“If somebody harbours delusions, I think that should disqualify them from office, regardless whether the delusions are religious. Letting someone who thinks the god Jehovah will bail him out serve in public office is like letting a man who believes in Santa Claus run a Toys 'R Us. The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” IfsThinkingMenShouldBelieveRunningLyingReligionBeliefReligiousOpinionEnemyComfortTruth IsOfficeMythDelusionToysDeliberatePersistentSantaDiscomfortSanta ClausJehovahPersuasivePublic OfficeBailHarbourBelieve In Santa Author:John F.

“The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life-hence it is a valuable possession to him.” KnowsMenWayBelieveMayMatterAbleReligionEasyMy OwnTeachComfortNo Matter WhatPossessionValuableOne WayThis LifeFollySuspectsInterfereAnother ManHereafterValuable Possessions Author:Mark Twain
