It is a thoroughly anti-christian doctrine that the Spirit of God, and therefore the life and governing power of the Church, resides in the ministry, to the exclusion of the people.
I want to create the largest archive of great God debates in existence: a Web site that becomes a great resource for both Christians and atheists.
I think Christianity is the same as Buddhism and Hinduism - whenever a religion begins to say that these are the things you have to do to be loved by God, you have a religion.
God's people are peculiar. Their spirit cannot mingle with the spirit and influence of the world. You do not wish to bear the Christian name and yet be unworthy of it.
After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn't, I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God's Son.
You see, rebellion, and the disobedience it causes, keeps us from having the power of God that's available to us as Christians.
The absence of God in most spheres of life is perceived to be normal, and even Christians feel it as normal - which is why absorbing the culture all around us and its priorities is so dangerous.
I like doves. They look so beautiful, like a woman. For me they represent peace and love and purity. And sometimes they're seen as the messengers of God, so they're important to me because I'm a Christian.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
I was three years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life.
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
I think you can still look to Jesus' word for guidance in your life. It's just not the guidance that it seems like most Christians are applying to their own lives.
Christianity makes of life a moral drama in which we play a starring role and in which the most ordinary events take on a grand significance.
You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not.
I have been a Christian all my life, but it's impossible to be so deeply involved in these stories without it making you think again, and without it making you consciously aware of the people involved.
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
When contrasted with the much longer time that life has been present, the course of Christianity thus far is but a brief moment.
I found that when I did something for the sake of heaven, heaven happened. These things changed my life. I owe them to my encounter with Christianity.
