“Belief in heaven and hell is a big deal in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and some forms of doctrinaire Buddhism. For the rest of us it's simply meaningless. We don't live in order to die, we live in order to live.” BigsFormOrderDiesBeliefHeavenDealsChristianityHellBuddhismIslamMeaninglessJudaismBig DealHeaven And HellChristianity And Islam Author:Ursula K.

“We are to take no counsel with flesh and blood; give ear to no vain cavils, vain sorrows and wishes; to know that we know nothing, that the worst and cruelest to our eyes is not what it seems, that we have to receive whatsoever befalls us as sent from God above, and say, "It is good and wise,--God is great! Though He slay me, yet I trust in Him." Islam means, in its way, denial of self. This is yet the highest wisdom that heaven has revealed to our earth.” KnowsWayGivingMeanSelfSeemsEyeEarthHeavenWishWiseBloodWorstSorrowHighestEarsIslamFleshDenialVainResignationFlesh And BloodGod Is Great Author:Thomas Carlyle
