I have studied religion, and I have concluded that there is some power. We don't understand it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
By religion, then, I understand a propitiation or conciliation of powers superior to man which are believed to direct and control the course of nature and of human life.
To this day I do not know whether the power which has inspired my works is something related to religion, or is indeed religion itself.
Power is not just political. It can be cultural; it can be spiritual.
There is a power in God's gospel beyond all description.
I think every individual has his or her own power, and it's a matter of working, taking time and defining what that power is.
I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.
Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence.
We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it.
No one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that.
When state and religion are one, religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power.
