Atheism is often spoken of in terms of cold intellectualism, but that is usually the excuse one uses to hide from himself and from others the fact that at some point and time in his life he has been unloved.


Facts have limits. One of them is inappropriateness. Another one is that they often hide the truth and lead us astray.


Many of us are committed to half-truths as if they were the whole truth.


Does the thought of God dismay you? Are you offended by morality? Does the subject of religion arouse your ire? Then perhaps it is you who is presumptuous and not the person or persons you blame.


Agnosticism and atheism is like a page torn out of the middle of a book. We know neither its context, its beginning or its afterward.

Most true believers will agree that the ontological, cosmological or teleological arguments for the existence of God are inadequate. They rely more on discernment than on raw intellectualism.


Total reliance on intellectualism is a sign of immaturity. The power of discernment, on the other hand, is a sign that one has at last become mature.


If your faith has been shaken to its foundations, perhaps it was a false or incomplete faith, and life is now ready to build a new edifice.


Having lost our faith and trust in life is very painful, but it is sometimes necessary in order that a new foundation be built.


If we want to evolve and grow, then we must learn to endure the pain of the process. Remember the old adage: “No pain, no gain.”


The partial man will think partial thoughts, and feel partial feelings.


The reasons that make some people atheistic are the same reasons which make some people very religious.


While thousands of people in the brutal concentration camps of the Nazis declared “Now I know there is no God,” there were some who declared, “Now, I know there is a God.”


It is a fallacy of the most unfair kind to presume that because a man believes in God he ought to always be supremely happy and never suffer.


It is not a question of “can He,” but “Will He.” Thus God is not wholly omnipotent. He does in fact limit Himself by the laws of His own creations. What? You expect Him to respond by whim and caprice just to satisfy your personal notions? Just how do you propose that he make water not drown us and at the same time float a ship? How do you propose He make it rain on the pumpkin patch but not the paved road? How do you propose that God grant some people freedom of choice and deny it to others? Would you make of him a respecter of persons? Or violate His own laws?
