The Bible is literature, not dogma.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.
So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.
I believe that dogma is often evil.
In all the antique religions, mythology takes the place of dogma; that is, the sacred lore of priests and people... and these stories afford the only explanation that is offered of the precepts of religion and the prescribed rules of ritual.
The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ.
The Bible is a history book.
Literature, not scripture, sustains the mind and - since there is no other metaphor - also the soul.
I feel like we need to be aware of the ways we use and misuse religious dogma: whether it takes us deeper into love and inclusion or it separates us.
From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
Every dogma has its day.
