What we need is not a religion that is right where we are right, but one that is right where we are wrong.
The denial of an objective moral law, based on the compulsion to deny the existence of God, results ultimately in the denial of evil iteself.
The more we see the unconscionable ends to which the human spirit can descend when it is determined to remain autonomous, the more our confidence in human methods diminishes.
All religions do not point to God.
Time isn’t just a fleeting thing. It never moves forward without engraving its mark upon the heart.

You’ll never get to a person’s soul until you understand their hurts.
Every religion at its core is exclusive.
You cannot talk about evil without assuming a moral framework.

With no fact as a referent, what is normative is purely a matter of preference.

Truth is not only a matter of offense, in that it makes certain assertions. It is also a matter of defense in that it must be able to make a cogent and sensible response to the counterpoints that are raised.
Success is more difficult to handle than failure.
I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge.
