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

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

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

Jesus Christ

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

Faith is not certainty. It is the courage to live with uncertainty.

Lord Jonathan Sacks | 2011

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

A too confident sense of justice always leads to injustice.

Reinhold Niebuhr | 1892-1971

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

I've always said that in the death camps they did not just kill six million Jews, but they killed Jesus six million times over...since he carried the message of the prophets.

Rabbi? Abraham Skorka | 2013
