The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world, manifest in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.
-Voltaire
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
Even the gods love jokes.
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere.
You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
-Rick Warren
God left so many fingerprints at the scene of creation that you wonder — does He want to be found, or does He want to be stopped?
-Robert Brault
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
