What the Psalms show and our prayers indicate is that our operational theology describes a god who is less than God. Our operational theology describes a god of human making. Our prayers call forth a god on a human scale. We operate as though God is our lackey, available to demolish our enemies, and confirm our prejudices. We pray as though God were our wayward teenage child whose friends we must approve.

Bishop Desmond Tutu | 2011

We say therefore God is living being, eternal, most good, so that life and duration continuous and eternal belong to God; for this is God.

Aristotle

Our greatest danger in life is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit our target.

Steve Chalke | 2015

The gift of monotheism is to eliminate these petty tribal conflicts and to institute the notion of the one God who is father to us all regardless of race or creed or gender or nation or any other personal characteristic.

Muhammad Yusuf Al Hussaini | 2008

Religion has power. It bonds people as a group. It moves people to act. It changes lives. And whatever has power can be used, misused or abused. Religion is life fire: it warms, but it also burns. And we are the guardians of the flame.

Lord Jonathan Sacks | 2011

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult ; and left untried.

G. K. Chesterton | 1874-1936

The Church exists to draw men unto Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the Cathedrals, clergies, missions, sermons, even the bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.

C. S. Lewis | 1952

Did blind chance no that there was light, and what was its infraction, and fir the eyes of all creatures after the most conscious manner, to make use of it? These and such like considerations, always have and ever will prevail with mankind, to make believe that there is a being who made all things, and has all things in his power and who is therefore to be feared.

Isaac Newton

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult ; and left untried.

G. K. Chesterton | 1874-1936
