“The saddest symptom about many so-called Christians is the utter absence of anything like conflict and fight against spiritual apathy in their Christianity. They eat, they drink, they dress, they work, they amuse themselves, they get money, they spend money, they go through a brief round of formal religious services once or twice every week. But of the great spiritual warfare - its watchings and strugglings, its agonies and anxieties, its battles and contests - of all things they appear to know nothing at all. Let us take care that this case is not our own.” KnowsCareChristianSpiritualFightingReligiousChristianityCasesStruggleWeekDrinkBattleConflictAnxietyAll ThingsDressesRoundsTake CareAbsenceApathyAgonyWarfareFormalContestsSymptomsSaddestGet MoneySpiritual WarfareGreat Spiritual Author:J.

“There are too many over-fed, under-motivated Christians hiding behind the excuse that God has not spoken to them.

“The prevailing notion is that the state should be neutral as to religion, and furthermore, that the best way to be neutral about it is to avoid all mention of it. By this sort of logic, nudism is the best compromise among different styles of dress. The secularist version of 'pluralism' amounts to theological nudism.” WayShouldDifferentStatesChristianReligiousStyleAmountLogicDressesNotionBest WayVersionsCompromiseTheologicalPrevailingDifferent StylesPluralism Author:Joseph Sobran
“Little do the devout worshippers of the Vatican suspect, when they lift up their eyes in mute adoration upon the head of their God on Earth, the Pope, that what they admire, is after all, but the caricatured head-dress, the Amazon-like helmet of Pallas Athene, the heathen goddess Minerva!

“Suddenly the land is haunted by all these dead Indians. There is this new fascination with the Southwest, with places like Santa Fe, New Mexico, where people come down from New York and Boston and dress up as Indians. When I go to Santa Fe, I find real Indians living there, but they are not involved in the earth worship that the American environmentalists are so taken by. Many of these Indians are interested, rather, in becoming Evangelical Christians.” PeopleRealEarthChristianTakenLandNew YorkBecomingInvolvedWorshipDressesMexicoBostonSantaFascinationEvangelicalEnvironmentalistNew MexicoSanta Fe Author:Richard Rodriguez

“I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing.
