religious children party
The anything-goes passiveness of the religious and political Left is matched by the preachy moralism of the religious and political Right.

religious confused lying
The North American Church is at a critical juncture. The gospel of grace is being confused and compromised by silence, seduction, and outright subversion. The vitality of the faith is being jeopardized. The lying slogans of the fixers who carry religion like a sword of judgment pile up with impunity.

Sentence them to three years in solitude with the Bible as their only companion.

religious jesus powerful
On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs.

But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly.

Arthur Schopenhauer
