"The Satanic Verses"
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.
-Jim Elliot
The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
-Mother Teresa
The sincere devotee loves God deeply whether he is non-active and silently meditating on God, or in the midst of a whirl of outer activities.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
-Thomas Paine
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
