Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

It is better to be unfaithful than to be faithful without wanting to be.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.

The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submission, humility, in a word all the qualities of the canaille

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there.

God does not work for you, He works with you.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

Christianity, if false, is not important. If Christianity is true, however, it is of infinite importance. What it cannot be is moderately important.

Faith without doubt is addiction

One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.

Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
