“My parents were lenient. My mother believed God was another word for nature. I took up Satanism not out of desperation, but out of logic. I rebelled, not but because of a religious or repressive childhood. I wanted to join the French Foreign Legion.” WantedMotherParentReligiousChildhoodLogicDesperationLegionSatanismLenient Author:Anton Szandor LaVey
“If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity. Now as always God discovers Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.” IfsWayFirstsFoundReligiousEffortDarknessDoubtWiseChildhoodEssentialsApproachSimplicityDetermineGods WillThickImpressSimplifyBabePrudentCandor Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“Often a man goes on for years imaging that the religious teaching that had been imparted to him since childhood is still intact, while all the time there is not a trace of it left in him.” MenYearsStillsLeftReligiousTeachingChildhoodGoes OnImaging Author:Leo Tolstoy
