Jefferson also founded the first intentionally secularized university in America. His vision for the University of Virginia was for education finally free from traditional Christian dogma. He had a disdain for the influence that institutional Christi...
And now, I, Moroni would speaksomewhatconcerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye seenot, for ye recieve no witness until after the trial of your faith....
It is debatable whether blind faith is truly faith at all. Faith is the perceptive gray area where scientific facts meet an individual's experiential truths - the extreme of the former is left feeling in the dark whereas the latter is caught blinded ...
Frankly, I even worried about the fact that I was so worried. Worrying about the strength of my faith—how it stood up to others'—didn’t seem to be a healthy sign. I mean, didn't worrying about faith defeat the whole point of faith? Weren't we s...
I have something to say to the religionist who feels atheists never say anything positive: You are an intelligent human being. Your life is valuable for its own sake. You are not second-class in the universe, deriving meaning and purpose from some ot...
The idea persists that faith is a remnant of an ancient way of life, a way of knowing that asks for unthinking acceptance of a belief system or adherence to specific dogma. This may be the case for some spiritual traditions, but the Buddha insisted t...

Not only do I not know what I believe, but also I cannot know for sure that I believe. How can I define precisely what my attitude is toward something it cannot conceivably grasp? Can I be said to be in the relation of "belief," in any usual sense of...
Being a Christian is about living an inviting example.
All the faults of the age come from Christianity and journalism. Christianity, of course, but why journalism?
God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is, at least for me, an abuse of paper.
I wish not merely to be called Christian, but also to be Christian.
Never forget that what becomes timeless was once truly new.
I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.
The Law of God in the Christian religion is the schoolmaster that leads us to Christ.
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
I've had good times; I've had bad times.
It's impossible to be a good Christian. If you think it's easy to be a good Christian, then you're not really trying hard enough.
