“I believe that I possess this value: to serve Jesus. I am less at peace than if my goal would be to attain a professorship and a good life, but I live. And that gives me the tremendous feeling of happiness, as if one would hear music. One feels uprooted, because one asks, what lies ahead, what decisions should I make-but more alive, happier than those anchored in life. To drift with released anchor.” IfsGivingFeelsShouldBelieveFeelingsWould BeLyingValuesAsksJesusI BelieveGoalDecisionChristianityAliveGive MeGood LifeShould IAnchorsProfessorship Author:Albert Schweitzer
“Most men do not feel in themselves the competence required for leading their group to victory, and therefore seek out a captain who appears to possess the courage and sagacity necessary for the achievement of supremacy. Even in religion this impulse appears. Nietzsche accused Christianity of inculcating a slave-morality, but ultimate triumph was always the goal. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” MenFeelsEarthGoalChristianityGroupsVictoryMoralityAchievementUltimateBlessedSlaveTriumphImpulseCaptainsAccusedCompetenceSupremacyMeekSagacity Book:Power: A New Social Analysis Source: Power: A New Social Analysis
“Christianity has held back any further advances in human consciousness for the past thousand years. And for the past century it's been in direct conflict with its illegitimate offspring, Communism (again with a capital C). Both ask the individual to sacrifice his self-interest to the higher goals of the organization. (Which is okay by me as long as it's voluntary; but as soon as either becomes too big - and takes on that damned capital C - they stop asking for cooperation and start demanding it.) Any higher states of human enlightenment have been sacrificed between these two monoliths.” YearsHumansLongHas BeensTwoSelfStatesBigsPastAsksIndividualGoalInterestConsciousnessChristianitySacrificeCenturyHigherThousandConflictEnlightenmentDirectOkayOrganizationAskingCommunismCooperationThousand YearsSelf InterestOffspringHuman ConsciousnessHigher Goals Author:David Gerrold

“There is a major disaster when a person allows some success to become a stopping place rather than a way station on to a larger goal.

“God's righteousness and His unchangeable law make Christianity a stumbling block for many. Organizations and individuals carry a political and moral agenda that aims to remove all obstacles to their sin. Their goal is to 'break God's bands asunder and cast away His cords.' They counsel together to rid themselves of the law of God; anyone who preaches the gospel or stands for righteousness stands in the way of their agenda.” WayChristianTogetherLawPoliticalIndividualGoalReligiousSinMoralChristianityBreakBandOrganizationAimCastsObstaclesBlockRemoveAgendasRighteousnessStumblingCordsUnchangeableStumbling BlocksCast Away Book:Raising the Standard/Reclaiming Your World for God Source: Raising the Standard/Reclaiming Your World for God
“Many humanists in the West are stirred by a sense of outrage at what professed Christians, past and present, have done; and this makes them see their humanism as a kind of crusade, with the killing of Christianity as its prime goal.” KindDoneChristianPastGoalReligiousChristianityWestKillingHumanismPrimeOutrageCrusadesPast And Present Author:J.
