About
A truism: Was it not, one of the Poets (who is as a Theologian) who said, "The Holy Spirit came down, not as a Vulture, but as a Dove"? When Yeshua was sacrificed, he was reconciling the whole world to Himself, not condemning it. You will be forgiven, if you would forgiven, and all shall be well.

The Dark Knight ruled the box office, but Mamma Mia! ruled my heart!-Stephan Colbert
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. - C.S. Lewis.

Education...has produced a population which is able to read, but unable to distinguish what's worth reading-G.M. Trevelyan
I am so completely against atheist(authors) who want books published with Christians, the people or religious structure, as the enemy. It takes an enormous amount of cynisism to bash and argue with people who spend a lifetime hoping that theres more to all our suffering and life here on earth-Me.
No evil can happen to a good man, neither in life nor death-Plato

Now is our chance to choose the right side. God holds back to give us that chance. It won't last forever, and we must either take it or leave it.-C.S. Lewis
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell. -C.S. Lewis
We cannot form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.-Goethe
Distrust those in whom the desire to punish is strong.-Goethe
Everything is simpler than you think yet at the same time, more complex than you could possibly imagine-Goethe
Only when we know little do we do anything; in knowledge grows doubt.-Goethe.

In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, and look around you-Tolstoy
To get rid of an enemy, one must love him-Tolstoy.
You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations — these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit — immortal horrors or everlasting splendours-Lewis
Dawkins was stupid, and abnormal-Myself.
If there is no God, there is no morality. If there is no God, rid the world of yourself, because clearly suffering has no meaning. If there is no God, there is no Love- Myself, on the atheist (antitheist) doctrine.
Love....it ain't so hard-Myself
Life is like a Pizza. When its good, its really good. When its bad, its still pretty good-Unknown.
The worst thing that can happen to Man. For him to have been made an autonomous lifeform, devoid of free will and thought, made for no good reason. Yet he hasn't been made as such.-Myself.
Dear friends, let us Love one another for love is of God. All those who love know Him. All those who don't love do not know God, because God is Love-John 4:7-8
Many waters may not quench love; nor, made the rivers flood it away.-Song of Solomon, 8:7
Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Rather, fairy tales tell children how dragons are to be beaten.-G.K. Chesterton
without education, we are in great and deadly danger of taking the "educated" seriously. -G.K. Chesterton
It behoved that there should be sin; but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.-Christ, unto the Lady Julian of Norwich, in a vision.
"If someone could convince me that Christ is outside the Truth, and that the Truth really did exclude Christ, I should prefer to stay with Christ and not with Truth". Because, then, Christ was more loving and more beautiful than Truth.- The quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky, rest by me.
If they shall move God from the Earth, we shall shelter Him underground-Dostoevsky
