“So many sins against the poor cry out to high heaven! One of the most deadly sins is to deprive the laborer of his hire. There is another: to instill in him paltry desires so compulsive that he is willing to sell his liberty and his honor to satisfy them. We are all guilty of concupiscence, but newspapers, radios, television, and battalions of advertising men (woe to that generation!) deliberately stimulate our desires, the satisfaction of which so often means the degradation of the family.” MenMeanDesireHeavenSinPoorLibertyGenerationsCryTelevisionWillingHonorSellsRadioSatisfactionNewspapersAdvertisingGuiltyConsumerismWoeDegradationOverconsumptionInstillLaborersDeadly Sins Author:Dorothy Day
“It would be hard to imagine Heaven without children. It wouldn't be Heaven! It would be a pretty boring place without children. What are we going to do, all get to be old people and then stagnate and that's the end of it? Once all those that are already born grow up, the place would really lack life without new generations of children! If there were no children, it would be a dead society.” PeopleIfsChildrenEndsHardWould BeHeavenGrowsBornGrowing UpImagineGenerationsBoringHeavenlyOld PeopleNew Generation Author:David Berg

“It cannot be doubted that theistic belief is a comfort and a solace to those who hold it, and that the loss of it is a very painful loss. It cannot be doubted, at least, by many of us in this generation, who either profess it now, or received it in our childhood and have parted from it since with such searching trouble as only cradle-faiths can cause. We have seen the spring sun shine out of an empty heaven, to light up a soulless earth; we have felt with utter loneliness that the Great Companion is dead.” LightEarthBeliefHeavenFeltCausesLossSunGenerationsTroubleAtheismChildhoodLonelinessComfortSpringEmptyOur ChildrenShiningPainfulPositive AtheismCompanionCradleSolaceDoubtedLight UpThis GenerationSun ShinesSoulless Book:The Ethics of Belief and Other Essays Source: The Ethics of Belief and Other Essays
“The plan was for Jesus to come to Earth two thousand years ago with a pocketful of miracles and souls for the people who were then alive. After his return to heaven from Earth he is going to build those mansions, come back before his generation dies out, finally put an end to the world which has been such a rotten disappointment, and deposit most of these souls in hell. No wonder heaven is only 12,000 furlongs wide, long, and high.” PeopleWorldYearsLongHas BeensTwoSoulEndsEarthDiesJesusHeavenWonderHellAlivePlansGenerationsAtheismReturnThousandYears AgoMiracleDisappointmentWideThousand YearsRottenMansionsDeposits Author:Ruth Hurmence Green
“If we could only use other folks' experience, this here world would be heaven in about three generations, but we're so constructed that we never believe fire'll burn till we poke our own fingers into it to see.
