Religious Texts Quotes

“The Bible’s imperfect, every religious text is imperfect. And that’s why they lead us closer to God. They make something simple complicated to keep our rapt attention. Like a puzzle to be worked out. Faith is a puzzle meant to take someone’s entire life to complete. But really, it doesn’t have to. It can be as easy as understanding love. That easy. Don’t just ‘be good.’ Love. Love as hard and as much as you can, especially with those who need it most. Take only what you need and give back far, far more. Love. Give love and give it without condition.”

“That happens a lot when people become parents, too. There's just so much at stake suddenly, and you're also witness to the total miracle of birth, and stuff like that. So I started reading tons of religious texts and checking everything out. One of the things I wanted to make sure of on the record is that it still has a "searching" vibe rather than an authoritative vibe.”

“But, the true reason for the success of such new expositions [translated Eastern religious texts] is to be found where they are the most accommodating, least rigid, least severe, most vague, and ready to come to easy terms with the prejudices and weaknesses of the modern world. Let everyone have the courage to look deeply into himself and to see what it is that he really wants.”

“The earliest religious texts in the West ascribe to humankind both a prehistory and a destiny among the gods. M. David Litwa presents a striking survey of the varieties the latter of these beliefs has had, both within and outside the Christian tradition. Becoming Divine reconstructs an accessible and fascinating mosaic of this too-long neglected idea, utilizing figures as disparate as Orphic cultists, Augustine, and Nietzsche.”

“Leaving religious texts open too interpretation is the downfall of religion itself. If it is truly the word of God then there is no room for interpretation; you either take all of it or none. There is no selective belief”
