Motivational Quotes

God

It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.

- Strawson, Galen

Bible

18.

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within.

Tozer, A. W.
