“Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is an absurd one. What is most repellent in the System of Nature - after the recipe for making eels from flour - is the audacity with which it decides that there is no God, without even having tried the impossibility. If God did not exist, he would have to be invented." But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it.” IfsDoeOrderTeachDoubtConditionsCrySupremeAbsurdCertaintyPleasantImmenseDependenceRecipesImpossibilityAdmirableThere Is No GodAudacityFlourEels Author:Baron d'Holbach
“The bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire...Here is the bible position of woman briefly summed up.” MenWorldWantPlayMightDesireSufferingFallHeavenSinRaceSilenceRolesTeachConditionsInformationPositionMaterialsPeriodsJudgmentPositive AtheismSeatsDependentAnguishBondageBountySubjectionMaternity Book:The Woman's Bible: A Classic Feminist Perspective Source: The Woman's Bible: A Classic Feminist Perspective
“It's all about the climate. I had a long discussion about it when I went to Scotland to see Andy Roxburgh. I worked with a Scottish youth side and had them do the same drills I would do in Italy. I realised that, between the wind, the rain and the cold, there was no way they could do it. How can you possibly teach anybody anything in those conditions? To me, it's pretty obvious and it explains why Brazilians are more technical than Europeans and, in Italy, the further south you go the more technical they are.” WayLongSidesTeachConditionsYouthFootballWindColdRainSouthClimateObviousManagersSoccerDiscussionScotlandRealisedChairmanScottishDrills Author:Fabio Capello
“We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone; at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.” NeedsMayChildrenRememberAsksVoiceSilenceTeachConditionsSolitudeOur ChildrenAcceptablePositivelyVoice Of God Author:Maya Angelou
“By saying "blessed are those who mourn", Jesus does not intend to declare an unfortunate and burdensome condition in life to be happy.

“[Jesus] teaches that just as the sun gives light to both wicked and good, and the rain brings nourishment to righteous and unrighteous, God's compassion embraces all people. There are no pre-conditions for it, nothing we need to do first, nothing we have to believe. When we are ready to receive it, it is already there. And the more we live in its presence, the more effortlessly if flows through us, until we find that we no longer need external rules or Bibles or Messiahs.” PeopleIfsNeedsGivingFirstsBelieveLightJesusCompassionTeachSunConditionsReadyRainFlowEmbraceWickedRighteousNourishmentMessiah Author:Stephen Mitchell
“Liberalism teaches those who have fallen behind in the economic scramble to blame others for their failure.
