Morality is doing what is right no matter what you're told. Religion is doing what you're told no matter what is right.

Love is love, yes indeed. But there are plenty who call molestation "love."
Calling perversity by a divine name does not change its true nature.

What if salvation were not by divine grace through Christ? What if it were rather, as many apostate faiths claim, based upon a tally of works and good deeds? What an unholy, wretched, unjust system that would be-- where a soul could be damned to eternal torment for falling below some unknown arbitrary "line of morality" by the smallest of infractions!

We percieve that the structure and the order of the Universe is sustained by the will and the presence of the Creator. We know that Hell is the one place where God is not. Thus we understand: Hell is not some specially designed eternal torture chamber for the execution of Divine sadism. It is simply what happens to the Universe when God withdraws Himself.... and those who go there do so because they desired to be away from His presence.

Just a little reminder: the people who said,
"The world is flat" and "No one will be interested in staring at a little box all day [television] "
were thought to have made wise and intelligent remarks.

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency, the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity, both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

I am of the conviction that most people believe in God only so that they can have someone to blame.

Listen, if human beings are smart enough to figure out whether to put a G, PG, R or X in front of a movie, then they've already demonstrated they know what obscenity is. They just don't want to go from the step of recognizing it to the step of abolishing it.

I am as averse to giving the power of censorship to a government as I would be to giving a loaded flamethrower to the village idiot.

In Christ's time on earth, cynics-- ones who would not be swayed by reason or common sense-- cried for "a sign." Today they cry for statistics. Both are merely excuses for not using your own rational abilities.

I find it hysterical that politicians and media figureheads are worried about the internet's influence on social mores. It's rather like the fox worrying that the dog will steal all the chickens first.

To not resist evil, even if need be by force, is to partake of it.
