Abraham LincolnThe Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.
About This Quote
The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. This quote is the essence of how one should view religion. Religion should never be your choice to believe in, but should come naturally because it gives you that peace that you were looking for. Religion should not be a choice that takes time away from you to learn it. Religion should never consume your life, but give you strength and help you reach your goals.
