Quote

'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.

I say there is no darkness but ignorance.

Very simply, our physical and spiritual safety lies in never even getting close to the line that separates light from dark, good from evil.

There is no darkness but ignorance.

I think religion is as flawed an enterprise as any other human endeavor, but the interests and ambitions of religion are the right interests and ambitions.

Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it's using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.

Dark can't exist with the light. Ain't nothing dark about God.

Whether one believes or not, religion is as real a force in the life of the world as economics or politics, and it demands fair-minded attention. Even if you think the entire religious enterprise is at best misguided and at worst counterproductive, it remains vital, inspiring great good and, sometimes, great evil.

The more a nation gets into darkness, the more it's going to hate the light. The more it's going to run from the light. And we have a generation of people who have given themselves to darkness, and they've embraced atheism, because it gets them away from moral responsibility to God.

There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.
