“If
I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become
sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and
know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I bestow all my goods to
feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it
profiteth me nothing.”

“If
we cannot find our way to a time when most of us are willing to admit that, at

then we need only count the days to Armageddon—because God has given us far
many more reasons to kill one another than to turn the other cheek.”

“Juanita
believes that nothing is provably true or provably false in the Bible. Because
if it's provably false, then the Bible is a lie, and if it's provably true,
then the existence of God is proven and there's no room for faith.”

must not suppose that I would like you to profess religion without possessing

and if he can believe it to be the word of God, to follow its teachings."
