religious compassion giving
Richard Paul Evans Psychologists tested the story of the Good Samaritan. What they learned gives us reason to pause.

religious philosophical adventure
Richard P. Feynman No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race.

religious giving-up children

And if you are if you are taught to read the bible, I can think of almost nothing more calculated to turn you off religion.
jesus dark hands
Kevin Hart There seems to be something poetically that doesn't work or is limiting when you call God 'God' in a poem. When I tried to be honest with myself in my relationship with God, Christ is, on the one hand, completely dark, he's transcendent and unknown. On the other hand, he is completely imminent and completely knowable as Jesus. Our tradition speaks of him in both ways as transcendent but also as a lover who comes to us, and the two word 'Dark One' seem to me to contain both things, the transcendence and otherness of Christ, but also like a kind of dark lover who comes to us.

Reza Aslan Many of the prophets of Jesus's time were thought to just be mad men, just sort of crazy people who were claiming to channel the divine.
