They that trust in the Lord shall never be confounded!

Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.

Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.

Everybody's part of the greater whole and skepticism and virtue are a part of that.

Because a truly skeptical position would be a very uncertain one.

Pious XII was too neutral to mention the gas chambers; decent people like my own family were turned into devils by crude Christianity.

I loathe all political parties, which I regard as inventions of the devil. My favourite prime minister was Sir Alec Douglas-Home, not because he was on the Right, but because he spent a year in office without, on his own admission, doing a damned thing.

A lot of people say to me, 'Why did you kill Christ?' I dunno, it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know.

I can say with total conviction that it was the Holy Spirit that chose, guided the election of Pope Francis.

It is only the forcible propagation of conventional Christianity that makes the agnostic so bitter toward the church. He knows that all the doctrines cannot possibly be true, but he would view them with toleration if he were asked merely to let them alone for the benefit of the masses whom they can help and succour.
