Quotes about christian
christian taken giving
The life of West, Nietzsche said, is based on Christianity. The values of the West are based on Christianity.

This, Nietzsche says, is an illusion...Remove the Christian foundation, and the values must go too. Dinesh D'Souza

christian powerful children
The heart of the Christian Gospel is precisely that God is the all holy One; the all powerful One is also the One full of mercy and compassion. He is not a neutral God inhabiting some inaccessible Mount Olympus. He is a God who cares about His children and cares enormously for the weak, the poor, the naked, the downtrodden, the despised. He takes their side not because they are good, since many of them are demonstrably not so. He takes their side because He is that kind of God, and they have no one else to champion them.
christian children hate
Love is universal. You don't have to tell somebody that loving is better than hating. You don't have to believe in God to know that stealing is bad.

All of us belong to God.

O Thou who art my quietness, my deep repose, My rest from strife of tongues, my holy hill, Fair is Thy pavilion, where I hold me still. Back let them fall from me, my clamorous foes, Confusions multiplied; From crowding things of sense I flee, and Thee I hide. Until this tyranny be overpast, Thy hand will hold me fast; What though the tumult of the storm increase, Grant to Thy servant strength, O Lord, and bless with peace.
