“I think every citizen in Burlington has a right to voice their opinion and participate in the local political process no matter who they are or what they are or where they come from or what their religious beliefs are.

“I really don't put it down. I never have. It's just that I analyze it and look at it from a very rational point of view. I don't see it as coming from God and say that at a certain point the Holy Spirit zaps you with a super whammy on the head and you've "gone for tongues" and there is it. Tongues is a process that people build up to. Then, as you start to do something, just as when you practice the scales on the piano, you get better at it.” PeopleLooksSpiritCertainProcessViewsPracticeGoneAtheismHolyPositive AtheismTonguePoint Of ViewScalesRationalPianoGet BetterHoly Spirit Author:Marjoe Gortner

“I seem to wonder if we can reach some kind of new destination with cinema, or touch upon human existence in a different way to what cinema usually does in its very schematic and sometimes very controlled, plot-oriented ways of thinking.

“Each one of us could describe his or her life as a sacred journey.

“Familiarity with holy things can often engender blindness, and churches are, for all their merits, institutions that embody, perhaps more than most, the will to perpetuate themselves. In this process, they can easily lose sight of the purpose for which they came into being and, in so doing, frustrate the Spirit.” SpiritPurposeProcessLosesChurchHolySightInstitutionsMeritBlindnessFamiliarity Book:Why Animal Suffering Matters: Philosophy, Theology, and Practical Ethics Source: Why Animal Suffering Matters: Philosophy, Theology, and Practical Ethics

“Our too-young and too-new America, lusty because it is lonely, aggressive because it is afraid, insists upon seeing the world in terms of good and bad, the holy and the evil, the high and the low, the white and the black; our America is frightened of fact, of history, of processes, of necessity. It hugs the easy way of damning those whom it cannot understand, of excluding those who look different, and it salves its conscience with a self-draped cloak of righteousness” WorldWayLooksDifferentSelfFactsAmericaYoungEvilEasyProcessBlackTermWhiteSeeingHolyLowsConscienceLonelyRighteousnessFrightenedAggressiveHugGood And BadCloaksEasy WaySeeing The WorldBlack Boy Book:American Hunger Source: American Hunger
“No, My son, the evolutionists are not right. I created all of this-all of this-in the blink of an eye; in one holy instant-just as the creationists have said.
