“[to Brigitte, personification of Death] I've heard all of your platitudes. I got them, I know. 'She's in a better place.' And, 'This is all a part of a master plan.' Heard that one, too. Here's my favorite. "God looked down and saw the most beautiful rose, so beautiful that he picked it to have it i…”— Allan Loeb, Howard Inlet, Will Smith, imdb.com
“This sounds incongruous — yet it may be taken for granted that those who profess to follow Christianity and yet make of God a being malicious, revengeful, and of more evil attributes that they possess themselves — are as barbarous, as unenlightened, as hopelessly sunken in slavish ignorance as the l…”— Marie Corelli, amazon.com
“After serving about 2 years there I was pronounced by the parole board to be a nice, clean boy of good morals, as pure as lily and a credit to those in authority in the istatution [sic] where I had been sent to be reformed. Yes sure I was reformed all right, dam good and reformed too. When I got out…”— Carl Panzram, amazon.com
“In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility. The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by t…”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, amazon.com
“The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus; it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, amazon.com
“There is a kind of listening with half an ear that presumes already to know what the other person has to say. It is an impatient, inattentive listening, that despises the brother and is only waiting for a chance to speak and thus get rid of the other person. This is no fulfillment of our obligation,…”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, amazon.com
“It may be that Christians, notwithstanding corporate worship, common prayer, and all their fellowship in service, may still be left to their loneliness. The final break-through to fellowship does not occur, because, though they have fellowship with one another as believers and as devout people, they…”— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, amazon.com
“Satanists need to have more faith than Christians, because Christ was seen and felt. Lucifer has never felt the need to be seen, but in everyone’s soul he can be felt. A lot of these little cults practice Satanism nowadays, but not in a violent form. They’re only looking for ways to play out wickedn…”— Richard Ramirez, evilminds.tumblr.com
“The basic issue, however, is not political. It is moral and spiritual. For Christians it has to do with the scriptural teaching that all men, whatever their race or color, are children of one Father, created by him for an eternal destiny, and therefore of infinite worth....It has to do with the comm…”— Bayard Rustin, huffingtonpost.com
“Christians are beginning to lose the spirit of intolerance which animated them: experience has shown the error of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, and of the persecution of those Christians in France whose belief differed a little from that of the king. They have realized that zeal for the adva…”— Baron de Montesquieu, amazon.com
“We have too many Jews in the towns. They are needed on the Polish border because in these areas Hebrews alone perform trade. As soon as you get away from the frontier, the Jews become a disadvantage, they form cliques, they deal in contraband and get up to all manner of rascally tricks which are det…”— Frederick the Great, amazon.com
“I am much indebted to the good Christian people of the country for their constant prayers and consolations; and to no one of them, more than to yourself.”— Abraham Lincoln, abrahamlincolnonline.org
“This nation has afforded freedom to more minorities than any nation in history. We've welcomed Jews from Eastern Europe, we've welcomed Muslims from the Middle East, we've welcomes Hindus from India, we've welcomed people from all over the world. And we've given them freedom. But there's no reason w…”— Pat Robertson, beliefnet.com
“It has been said by many great Christians that prayer is our secret weapon. If we desire to be free from every enemy stronghold over our lives and fully fortified to live the superhuman existences God intended us to live, then we must learn how to pray.”— Leslie Ludy, amazon.com
