“Let's take back the rainbow for God. Let the homosexual community find a different religious symbol to commandeer... What I want is for the Christian community to wake up, wipe the sleep from their eyes, and realize that they are in a spiritual battle that isn't going away and has no demilitarized zones. The rainbow is a symbol, but it's meaning points to the very character of God. So Christians, use this God-given symbol for His glory. Using it won't make you a homosexual.” WantDifferentCharacterUseEyeChristianSpiritualGivenRealizingCommunityReligiousSleepBattleGloryWake UpSymbolsZoneGoing AwayRainbowHomosexualWipeChristian CommunityCharacter Of God Author:Ken Hutcherson
“The final battles are the samskaras of good karma. They prevent Samadhi. Naturally for a religious person the avoidance is intensive.

“One would suppose that the battle for religious liberty was won in the United States two hundred years ago. However, in the time since, and right now, powerful voices are always raised in favor of bigotry and thought control. It is useful, then, to have a compendium of the thoughts of great men and women of all faiths (and of none) on the subject, to convince us that we men and woman of freedom are not and never have been alone.” MenYearsHas BeensTwoStatesVoiceReligiousUnitedPowerfulLibertyUnited StatesAtheismSubjectsRight NowBattleHundredMen And WomenYears AgoRaisedPositive AtheismFavorsGreat MenConvinceBigotryReligious LibertyConvince Us Author:Isaac Asimov
“The saddest symptom about many so-called Christians is the utter absence of anything like conflict and fight against spiritual apathy in their Christianity. They eat, they drink, they dress, they work, they amuse themselves, they get money, they spend money, they go through a brief round of formal religious services once or twice every week. But of the great spiritual warfare - its watchings and strugglings, its agonies and anxieties, its battles and contests - of all things they appear to know nothing at all.

“I was standing next to a famed geo-politician when the first news of the Argentine attack [on the Faulkland Islands] was received, and heard him muse incredulously: "An old-fashioned naval battle. A war between two civilized nations, perhaps with even a declaration of war, and later a peace conference. Wow." No hostages, no nukes, no ideologies, no religious fanaticism; just a fair-and-square war over national interests - hard to believe, in this day and age.” FirstsBelieveTwoWarHardAgeNextNationsPeaceInterestReligiousHeardPoliticianBattleNewsFairsStandingIdeologyIslandsCivilizedThis DaySquaresWowMuseDeclarationOld FashionedConferencesFanaticismHostageHard To BelieveNavalNational InterestsNukesCivilized NationsDeclaration Of War Author:William Safire

“Determined secularists view these as residual inconsistencies that they have not yet go around to extirpating and that may not be worth bothering about...

“The religious cant that will send American troops into battle is perhaps the most sickening aspect of this surreal war-to-be. Bush has an arm-lock on God. And God has very particular political opinions. God appointed America to save the world in any way that suits America. God appointed Israel to be the nexus of America's Middle Eastern policy, and anyone who wants to mess with that idea is a) anti-Semitic, b) anti-American, c) with the enemy, and d) a terrorist.” WorldWayWantIdeasWarAmericaPoliticalReligiousOpinionEnemyMiddlePolicyParticularArmsBattleAspectIsraelTerroristSuitsMessTroopsLocksEasternCantSurrealSave The WorldAnti SemiticAnti-americanPolitical OpinionsAmerican TroopsNexus Author:John le Carre

“God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.” WayNeedsFacesFaithOpportunityWinningReligiousPrayerBattleDifficultyTrialsOne WayExcellentDependenceRefinedDiscouragementHumblingDependence On God Author:Charles Stanley
