When its followers trust in violence or coercion to defend a religion, they sabotage their belief-system's global credibility by showing the world that their faith is too weak to stand on its own merits.

Religious persecution is the strongest statement its perpetrators can make that their particular belief-system is not only against human freedom but incapable of standing and surviving on its own merits alone.

Having beliefs about God doesn't require devotion to religion, but beliefs about something that important are worthless in practice, unless their adherents are religiously devoted to them.

If human hearts allowed God to rule as He rules the universe, His kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven.

My love for science and logic are philosophically tempered by an experience of human life that renders me utterly skeptical toward any arguments promoting faith in atheism.

Christian faith can turn crucifixions into resurrections, Calvary-like suffering into the rolled-away stones of Easter morning.
