Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be the sons of God.
God does not work for you, He works with you.
As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' - probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body. Frankly, I see my body as more of a limitation than a virtue, and I will be glad to be free of it rather than having to continue to cart it around.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
You will achieve definitive self-fulfilment only in the next life.
Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Who is the most favoured of God? He from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.
It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
Spiritual progress is like a detoxification
Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
