But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really connect with those moments of doing missionary work down there and just seeing the people that are dying from disease and hunger and malnutrition.
The belief that we can rely on shortcuts to happiness, joy, rapture, comfort, and ecstasy, rather than be entitled to these feelings by the exercise of personal strengths and virtues, leads to legions of people who, in the middle of great wealth, are starving spiritually.
I always felt that church is where I'm going to find my community and people to live my life with.
Only a couple of times have I ever been to church and felt enlightened by it.
The Church exists to connect people at the level of their hunger for a new world.
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
I was never forced to go to church, and there is a lot of beauty in Christianity that I take in my life as a gift, and there is a lot of beauty in other religions. I'm kind of a spiritual mutt.
I am writing to all the churches to let it be known that I will gladly die for God if only you do not stand in my way... Let me be food for the wild beasts, for they are my way to God.
I grew up in the church, and I feel very strongly about it.
I've spent more time in hospitals than some fellows ever spend in church.
