~ Mark 14:51-52
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
~ Isaiah 2:4
An angel stands by my side and directs me in every miracle service, and he even tells me things that are going to happen ahead of time.

Beware the man of one book.
~ St. Thomas Aquinas (born: 1225 died: 1274-03-07 at age: 48)
In order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful and that they may give to God more copious thanks for it, they are permitted perfectly to behold the sufferings of the damned… The saints will rejoice in the punishment of the damned.
~ St. Thomas Aquinas (born: 1225 died: 1274-03-07 at age: 48)
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

I don’t know who will lead us through the ’90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul.
~ Lee Atwater (born: 1951-02-27 died: 1991-03-29 at age: 40) father of dirty election tricks.
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to try and discover the secrets nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing, which man should not wish to learn.
~ St. Augustine, Augustine of Hippo (born: 354-11-13 AD died: 430-08-28 AD at age: 75)
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bond, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty.
~ John Ball (born: 1338 died: 1381-07-15 at age: 43)Ball was under the delusion that if all the wealthy landowners were eliminated, and everyone embraced poverty, Jesus would call off his attack of the bubonic plague.
Hear the words of my mouth.
~ Glenn Beck (born: 1964-02-10 age: 48)Con men like Glenn Beck sometimes affect this ponderous, redundant biblical language to trick their audiences into thinking they are saying something profound. Mr. Beck is a parody of himself, something like Richard Simmons or the late Liberace. Does inside he laugh at himself, or does he truly believe he is the second coming? He has an ego like a super-heated grain of popcorn, barely able to contain himself from bursting into hymns of praise for the amazing Glenn Beck.
The secret is surrender. Commitment to Christ involves surrender of the intellect, the emotions and the will — the total person.

I love the lawd. If it is wrong to love the lawd, then I’m happy to be wrong.
~ Reverend Brown from Coming To America. This is typical of Christians. They have greater loyalty to Christian dogma than to decency or truth. They will happily torment homosexuals in the name of Jesus even when they know it is wrong. They will destroy the environment even though they know it is wrong. They will force junk science down the throats of the young even when they know it is bogus.
All the ills from which America suffers can be traced to the teaching of evolution.
~ William Jennings Bryan (born: 1860-03-19 died: 1925-07-26 at age: 65)
I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.

I do not really care what people do as long as they do not do it in the street and frighten the horses.
~ Mrs. Patrick Campbell (born: 1865-02-09 died: 1940-04-09 at age: 75) Victorian
Environmental policies are driven by a kind of emotional spiritualism that threatens the very foundation of our society. There is increasing evidence of a government-sponsored religion in America. This religion, a cloudy mixture of new-age mysticism, Native American folklore, and primitive Earth worship, is being promoted and enforced by the Clinton administration in violation of our rights and freedoms.
~ Helen Chenoweth-Hage (born: 1938-01-27 died: 2006-10-02 at age: 68) Rep, R-Idaho, testifying to congress about her delusions. She had such a sectarian view of the world, that she can only grasp science in terms of warring cults.
I believe in religious freedom. Everyone should be free to worship Jesus in whatever way they please.
~ A. Christian
President Abraham Lincoln gave his life.
~ Bill Clinton (born: 1946-08-19 age: 65) 42nd president of the USA,I refuse to believe President Lincoln gave assent to his own assassination. Surely, had he known what awaited him at the Ford theatre he would have stayed home. Surely, he did not imagine his country was better off with him dead. His life was stolen from him.
I want to say to all you Scribes, Pharisees, heresy hunters, all of you that are going around pickin’ little bits of doctrinal error out of everybody’s eyes and dividin’ the Body of Christ… get out of God’s way, stop blockin’ God’s bridges, or God’s goin’ to shoot you if I don’t… let Him sort out all this doctrinal doodoo!… I refuse to argue any longer with any of you out there! Don’t even call me if you want to argue… Get out of my life! I don’t want to talk to you… I don’t want to see your ugly face!
~ Paul Crouch (born: 1934-03-29 age: 77) President, Trinity Broadcasting Network
Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 75) Focus on the FamilyOverpopulation is destroying the earth, not polyamory. Most species are not monogamous, just beavers and a few birds. Humans self report that 60% of males are not monogamous and 40% of females, higher if you count multiple marriages, so there is no need to single out unmarried gays. People destroy their own marriages. What gay people do on the other side of town is irrelevant. Why does Dobson want to block homosexuals who desire monogamy from using the primary tool for ensuring monogamy — marriage?
In every classroom in the state [of California, students are] being taught homosexual propaganda and these other politically correct, postmodern views.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 75) Focus on the Family, recommending that parents remove their children from California’s public schools.Dobson wants children to learn that it is OK to persecute and discriminate against gays, contrary to the law.
One of the problems with sex education… is that it also strips kids — especially girls — of their modesty to have every detail of anatomy, physiology and condom usage made explicit.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 75) Focus on the Family
State Universities are breeding grounds, quite literally, for sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV (Human Imumuno-deficiency Virus)), homosexual behavior, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
~ James Dobson (born: 1936-04-21 age: 75) Focus on the FamilyAnd the Christian schools are breeding grounds for bigotry, hypocrisy and ignorance.
On the perfection of Jesus:
Yes, Jesus masturbated, but he didn’t come.

[Homosexuals are] brute beasts…part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven.

AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73) America Can Be Saved 2002
AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh’s chariotters.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
Homosexuality is Satan’s diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)
I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One’s misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status.
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73), USA Today Chat, quoted from The Religious Freedom Coalition The Two faces of Jerry Falwell
I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
~ Jerry Falwell (born: 1933-08-11 died: 2007-05-15 at age: 73)

We are gonna to have to choose as a nation between the homosexual agenda and freedom because the two cannot coexist. Every advance of the homosexual agenda, comes at the expense of liberty, particularly religious liberty.
~ Bryan Fischer head of The American Family AssociationThis is Orwellian language. He is claiming that gays having the right to marry or serve in the military somehow impairs his freedom. How pray tell? He avoids even being in the same room with gays so he unlikely to be invited to same-sex wedding. He is far too old for military service, so he won’t run into any gays in that context. Perhaps his freedom to force his fundamentalist religious beliefs on others. Perhaps he is thinking of more fundamental freedoms, to go gay bashing, or in other ways persecute gays for amusement.
Lord, give me the power to torture people into loving you.
~ Ned Flanders
Jesus made a special point of discouraging the laying of emphasis on outer observances, and, indeed upon hard-and-fast rules and regulations of every kind. What he insisted upon was a certain spirit in one’s conduct, knowing that when the spirit is right, the details will take care of themselves. Yet, in spite of this, the history of orthodox Christianity is largely made up of attempts to enforce all sorts of external observances on people.
~ Emmet Fox (born: 1886-07-30 died: 1951-08-13 at age: 65) American evangelist.
All homosexuals should be castrated.
~ Billy Graham (born: 1918-11-07 age: 93) He later apologised but that is the view he holds in his heart. You don’t say something like that via a slip of the tongue.
Homosexuality is a sin like any other sin.
~ Billy Graham (born: 1918-11-07 age: 93)
I believe marriage is between a man and woman.
~ Billy Graham (born: 1918-11-07 age: 93) When Time Magazine asked him if he believed gays should have equal rights to marry for his 2004-11-21 interview.
The world longs for authority, finality and conclusiveness. It is weary of theological floundering and uncertainty. Belief exhilarates the human spirit; doubt depresses.
~ Billy Graham (born: 1918-11-07 age: 93)
It is extremely difficult for a Jew to be converted, for how can he bring himself to believe in the divinity of — another Jew?

The holy ghost is the only one who can help you. You can’t do it on your own.
~ Benny Hinn (born: 1952-12-03 age: 59) part of his hypnotic faith healing pitch to trick his followers into giving him money. Since when did the holy ghost ever do anything? Christians enjoy no better health than anyone else.
I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator.

I had so often sung ‘Deutschland über Alles’ and shouted Heil at the top of my lungs, that it seemed to me almost a belated act of grace to be allowed to stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim the sincerity of this conviction.
~ Adolf Hitler (born: 1889-04-20 died: 1945-04-30 at age: 56) Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 5.
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

What we have to fight for is the necessary security for the existence and increase of our race and people, the subsistence of its children and the maintenance of our racial stock unmixed, the freedom and independence of the Fatherland; so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator.
~ Adolf Hitler (born: 1889-04-20 died: 1945-04-30 at age: 56) Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 8.
I regret to say that we of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.
~ J. Edgar Hoover (born: 1895-01-01 died: 1972-05-02 at age: 77) Had he not been powerless, he would have been obligated to arrest himself.
We should have no concern for the environment, because, after the great flood with Noah, God promised that He would never ruin the earth again.
~ James Inhofe (born: 1934-11-17 age: 77) Republican Senator for OklahomaInhofe is spewing Christian bafflegab to cover up the fact that he is a big oil shill. He may or may not believe his own drivel. Even if you take this biblical prediction seriously, it says nothing about the possibility of humans, corporations or Satan deliberately bringing on global climate change/floods by releasing massive quantities ofCO₂ into the atmosphere. If you read the promise inGenesis 9:11 , it says “neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth”. All Jehovah promises is not to do to destroy the earth by flood; he leaves open all other means including parching it.
The following rites of this pestilence are carried out: When any novice is to be received among them and enters the sect of the damned for the first time, the shape of a certain frog or toad appears to him. Some kiss this creature on the hind quarters and some on the mouth, they receive the tongue and saliva of the beast inside their mouths. Sometimes it appears unduly large, and sometimes equivalent to a goose or a duck, and sometimes it even assumes the size of an oven. At length, when the novice has come forward, is met by a man of wondrous pallor, who has black eyes and is so emaciated and thin that since his flesh has been wasted, seems to have remaining only skin drawn over his bone. The novice kisses him and feels cold, like ice, and after the kiss the memory of the Catholic faith totally disappears from his heart. Afterwards, they sit down to a meal and when they have arisen from it, the certain statue, which is usual in a sect of this kind, a black cat descends backwards, with its tail erect. First the novice, next the master, then each one of the order who are worthy and perfect, kiss the cat on its buttocks. Then each returns to his place and, speaking certain responses, they incline their heads toward to cat. “Forgive us!” says the master, and the one next to him repeats this, a third responding says, “We know, master!” A fourth says: “And we must obey.” When this has been done, they put out the candles, and turn to the practice of the most disgusting lechery. They make no distinction between strangers and family. Moreover, if by chance those of the male sex exceed the number of women, surrendering to their passions, … men engage with depravity with men. Woman change their natural function making this itself worthy of blame among themselves. When these most abnormal sins have been completed, and the candles have been lit again and each has resumed his place, from a dark corner of the assembly a certain man comes, from the loins upward, shining like the sun. His lower part is shaggy like a cat. ~ Pope Gregory IX (born: 1945-12-22 age: 66), not to be confused with Pope Gregory XIII, the pope who revised the calendar. This is the opening to his fevered superstition-creating papal bull that lead to the mass slaughter of black cats. This is also an example of the church’s bigotry against gays and their encouragement of murder. The original would have been in the traditional Latin.
Do not waste time bothering whether you love your neighbor; act as if you did.

An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)Reason and logic have made the modern world possible. I find astounding that the church has been so successful in persuading Christians to give it up. Perhaps the trick is getting them to distrust it only when it counters church teaching.
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Reason is the enemy of faith.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Stab, smite, throttle, slay these rabid mad dogs without mercy, with a good conscience to the last ounce of strength, for nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful or devilish than a rebel. He that shall be slain on the side of law and order is a true martyr before God, earning eternal bliss; he that perishes on the side of rebellion is doomed eternally to hell. Such times are these that a prince shall win heaven by bloodshed sooner than others by prayer…
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church… a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them.
~ Martin Luther (born: 1483-11-10 died: 1546-02-18 at age: 62)
Faith is a light of such supreme brilliance that it dazzles the mind and darkens all its visions of other realities, but in the end when we become used to the new light, we gain a new view of all reality transfigured and elevated in the light itself.
~ Thomas Merton (born: 1915-01-31 died: 1968-12-10 at age: 53) a Catholic monk, on how much fun you can have with imagination and self-deception.
So let us be blunt: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberties of the enemies of God.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 69) Christian Reconstructionist
The fifth and by far the most important reason is that stoning is literally a means of crushing the murderer’s head by means of a rock, which is symbolic of God. This is analogous to the crushing of the head of the serpent inGenesis 3:15. This symbolism testifies to the final victory of God over all the hosts of Satan. Stoning is therefore integral to the commandment against murder.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 69) Christian Reconstructionist
The long-term goal of Christians in politics should be to gain exclusive control over the franchise[the right to vote]. Those who refuse to submit publicly to the eternal sanctions of God by submitting to His Church’s public marks of the covenant — baptism and holy communion — must be denied citizenship, just as they were in ancient Israel.
~ Gary North (born: 1942 age: 69) Christian Reconstructionist
The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Exodus 21:17 ). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Leviticus 24:16 ).

I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
~ Barack Obama (born: 1961-08-04 age: 50), Interview in Christianity Today, 2008-01-22I find it deeply disturbing that someone who indulges in wishful thinking and delusion has his finger on a button that could end most of life on earth.
I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying. He is worse than other Christian bigots because he pretended to favour gay civil rights.
~ Barack Obama (born: 1961-08-04 age: 50)But has done nothing for equal gay rights. He even appealed the nullification of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell after claiming he wanted to abolish DADT (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell).
You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.

He is back at his old con games.

I think ‘one man, one vote’; just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 81), The 700 Club television program, 1992-04-18, suggesting that South African white people’s votes ought to count more than other votes because they are in the minority.
Individual Christians are the only ones really — and Jewish people, those who trust God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — are the only ones that are qualified to have the reign, because hopefully, they will be governed by God and submit to Him.

Many of those people involved with Adolf Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals — the two things seem to go together.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 81), The 700 Club television program, 1993-01-21, ignoring the facts that the Nazis killed homosexuals as ruthlessly as they did Jews and that Satanism emerged with Anton Szandor LaVey.
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 81), fundraising letter, 1992
The strategy against the American radical left should be the same as General Douglas MacArthur employed against the Japanese in the Pacific… bypass their strongholds, then surround them, isolate them bombard them, then blast the individuals out of their power bunkers with hand-to-hand combat. The battle for Iwo Jima was not pleasant, but our troops won it. The battle to regain the soul of America won’t be pleasant either, but we will win it.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 81), Pat Robertson’s Perspective, 1992-04
There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore.
~ Pat Robertson (born: 1930-03-22 age: 81), address to his American Center for Law and Justice, 1993-11. Let’s see, now: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” How could the prohibition against Congress making laws respecting an establishment of religion be anything but the separation of church and state?
There will never be peace until God’s house and God’s people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top…there is absolutely no way that government can operate successfully unless led by godly men and women operating under the laws of the God of Jacob.

We have enough votes to run the country. And when the people say, 'We’ve had enough,' we are going to take over.

You say you’re supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don’t have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don’t have to be nice to them.

In colonial New England, the covenantal concept of church and state was applied. Everyone went to church, but only a limited number had voting rights in the church and therefore the state, because there was a coincidence of church membership and citizenship. The others were no less believers, but the belief was that only the responsible must be given responsibility. One faith, one law, and one standard of justice did not mean democracy. The heresy of democracy has since then worked havoc in church and state, and it has worked towards reducing society to anarchy.

It would be good for religion if many books that seem useful were destroyed. When there were not so many books and not so many arguments and disputes, religion grew more quickly than it has since.

Should you let Muslims build a Mosque in your neighbourhood?
~ Diane Sawyer (born: 1945-12-22 age: 66), ABC TV news anchor, Roman Catholic bigot, wife of Mike Nichols (I kid you not).She does not seem to realise the constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion apply to all religions, not just Christianity.
Devout Christians are destined to be regarded as fools in modern society. We are fools for Christ’s sake. We must pray for courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated world.
~ Antonin Scalia (born: 1936-03-11 age: 75) adding that the word cretin is derived from the French word for Christian, in a speech at the Mississippi College School of Law 1996-04-09, quoted from James Dobson, Was America a Christian Nation? 1996
Genesis 8:22 “As long as the earth endures, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.” I believe [without evidence] that is the infallible word of God, and that’s the way it is going to be for his creation. The earth will end only when God declares its time to be over. Man will not destroy this earth. This earth will not be destroyed by a flood.
~ John Shimkus (born: 1958-02-21 age: 53) Republican Representative for Illinois, 2009-03 at a House Energy Subcommittee on Energy and Environment hearing.Even if you take this biblical prediction seriously, it has the loophole of allowing Jehovah the option of merely wiping out billions of humans (and 95% of its species as has happened a number of times before in global extinction events). Mr. Shimkus conveniently ignores that fact this verse contradicts all of Revelation and the end-times prophesies. It also allows Jehovah the loophole of vaporising the entire planet in some cosmic collision.
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
~ St Francis of Assisi (born: 1181 died: 1226-10-03 at age: 45)
And thus they come into Bethany, and a certain, woman whose brother had died, was there. And coming she prostrated herself before Jesus and sayeth unto him, “Son of David have mercy on me”. But the disciples rebuked her.And Jesus, being angered, went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway a great cry was heard from the tomb.
And going near, Jesus rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand.
But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich.
And after six days, Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over nakedness. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.
~ suppressed part of the Gospel according to Mark
I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good… Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don’t want equal time. We don’t want pluralism.

The News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana. 1993-08-16
answer … no One on Whom I can cling … no, No One. Alone … Where is my Faith … even deep down right in there is nothing, but emptiness & darkness … My God … how painful is this unknown pain … I have no Faith … I dare not utter the words & thoughts that crowd in my heart … & make me suffer untold agony. So many unanswered questions live within me afraid to uncover them … because of the blasphemy … If there be God … please forgive me … When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives & hurt my very soul. I am told God loves me … and yet the reality of darkness & coldness & emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul.
~ Mother Theresa (born: 1910-08-26 died: 1997-09-05 at age: 87) aka Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, expressing her doubts about the existence of god.
I have not meet a single Indian whom I consider to have attained even the most glimmering perception of the Christian creed.
~ Joseph Trutch (born: 1826-01-18 died: 1904-03-04 at age: 78) Chief Commissioner of Land and Works for British ColumbiaThis lack of Christianity he used to justify confiscating 91% of the land formerly granted by treaty to the indigenous people of BC. To my city, Victoria’s shame, we have a street named after this bigot, as does Vancouver.
Forgiveness is abandoning your right to revenge.
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu (born: 1931-10-07 age: 80)
We struggled against apartheid because we were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about. It is the same with homosexuality. The orientation is a given, not a matter of choice. It would be crazy for someone to choose to be gay, given the homophobia that is present.
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu (born: 1931-10-07 age: 80)
A left-wing cult dedicated to bringing down the type of government I believe in.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 74), Secretary of the Interior describing environmentalists
I do not know how many future generations we can count of before the Lord returns.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 74), Secretary of the Interior, 1981-02-05
If the troubles from environmentalists cannot be solved by the jury box or at the ballot box, perhaps the cartridge box should be used.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 74), Secretary of the Interior
We have every kind of mix you can have. I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple.
~ James Gaius Watt (born: 1938-01-31 age: 74), Secretary of the Interior, 1983-09-21
Homosexuals tend to be preoccupied with sex.
~ Paul Weyrich (born: 1942-10-07 died: 2008-12-18 at age: 66) one of the founders of the Moral MajorityAs a gay person myself, I observe that Christians like Mr. Weyrich are far more obsessed with sex between people of the same gender than homosexuals are. For us, it is no big deal. The way heterosexuals create such emotional drama around it seems so childish.
Let us pray it is not so, or if it is, that it will not become widely known.
~ Wife of the Bishop of Exeter on hearing of Darwin’s theory of the common descent of humans and apes.
Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.
~ Jesuit Saint Francis Xavier (born: 1506-04-07 died: 1552-12-03 at age: 46)
