Faith, Spirituality and Religion

There is no other life; life itself is only a vision and a dream for nothing exists but space and you. If there was an all-powerful God, he would have made all good, and no bad.

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness... It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast.

A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows.

In God We Trust. I don't believe it would sound any better if it were true.

In religion, India is the only millionaire... the One land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined.

Blasphemy? No, it is not blasphemy. If God is as vast as that, he is above blasphemy; if he is as little as that, He is beneath it.

If smoking cigars is not permitted in heaven, I won't go.

Strange is the man who practices his religion .

Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions....there was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions .

God cures and the doctor sends the bill.

If it is a Miracle, any sort of evidence will answer, but if it is a Fact, proof is necessary
