“Mission begins with a kind of explosion of joy. The news that the rejected and crucified Jesus is alive is something that cannot possibly be suppressed. It must be told. Who could be silent about such a fact? The mission of the Church in the pages of the New Testament is like the fallout from a vast explosion, a radioactive fallout which is not lethal but life-giving.” GivingKindFactsJoyJesusChurchAliveNewsPagesSilentMissionsRejectedTestamentExplosionsNew TestamentFallouts Book:The Gospel in a Pluralist Society Source: The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

“You're gonna die. You're gonna die. And nobody's gonna care which version of the iPhone you used to make something on Twitter, or to go and post about your bowel movement on Facebook. And I'm not even talking about legacy; I'm talking about the fact that I personally feel most alive when I'm making something, and I feel least alive when I'm being led around by some obnoxious use of my attention that I wasn't aware of. To me, that's the thing.

“On the other hand, heroism is basic to the character of the Nordic peoples. This heroism of the ancient mythic period and this is what is decisive has never been lost, despite times of decline, so long as the Nordic blood was still alive. Heroism, in fact, took many forms, from the warrior nobility of Siegfried or Hercules to the intellectual nobility of Copernicus and Leonardo , the religious nobility of Eckehart and Lagarde, or the political nobility of Frederick the Great and Bismarck , and its substance has remained the same.” LongStillsCharacterFactsHandsFormPoliticalLostReligiousAliveBloodPeriodsIntellectualAncientDespiteWarriorSubstanceDeclineHeroismNobilityLeonardoCopernicusNordicBismarck Author:Alfred Rosenberg

They keep the fans reading and their imaginations stimulated.” StillsImportantFactsCareReadingInterestImaginationAliveFansEasierBiggerExcitingConventions Author:Stan Lee
“The part of my brain that was responsible for creating the world I lived and moved in and for taking the raw data that came in through my senses and fashioning it into a meaningful universe: that part of my brain was down, and out. And yet despite all of this, I had been alive, and aware, truly aware, in a universe characterized above all by love, consciousness, and reality. There was, for me, simply no arguing this fact.

“Theism, as a way of conceiving God, has become demonstrably inadequate, and the God of theism not only is dying but is probably not revivable. If the religion of the future depends on keeping alive the definitions of theism, then the human phenomenon that we call religion will have come to an end. If Christianity depends on a theistic definition of God, then we must face the fact that we are watching this noble religious system enter the rigor mortis of its own death throes.” IfsWayHumansEndsFactsFacesReligiousChristianityAliveAtheismDyingDependsDefinitionsPositive AtheismNoblePhenomenonInadequateTheismRigorConceivingRigor Mortis Author:John Shelby Spong
