There is nothing more powerful than gaining knowledge through our beliefs via personal experiences because when we turn belief into knowledge this way, we know what we know at the very core of our being, at a visceral level.Patty Houser

Regarding beliefs and belief systems: We argue what and how we feel, rather than what we - actually - know or assume to be facts or factual evidence. Thus, it is justifiably prudent to challenge that which has been adopted or enforced by tradition. If such examination is discouraged by fearful tactics - we must not shy away from soulful searching.T.F. Hodge

Good gods are scarce because the majority of gods are created by evil menBangambiki Habyarimana

Why do religious believers hate unbelievers? The feel threatened by them, they feel besieged by them. Religions consider themselves as separate tribes in their own rights and feel like unbelievers will one day overrun their strongholdsBangambiki Habyarimana

Every word that comes after "And the Lord told me... “is a pious lieBangambiki Habyarimana

Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.Bangambiki Habyarimana

Science cannot disprove god. Science studies the things that are. The eternal question is who or what made them to beBangambiki Habyarimana
12
Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away? Religious leaders know that all religions are equal; they know that no one of them has the monopoly to the knowledge of God. They know that each religion is trying to find the hidden God and that no one religion can claim to have found him beyond doubt. That's why they remain where they are and respect each other.Bangambiki Habyarimana
13
Can really anybody put his hand on his heart and profess to know beyond doubt what happens on the other side of this life?Bangambiki Habyarimana

Apologetics=faith is weak, lets defend itBangambiki Habyarimana
18
Theology is like assuming that there is a black cat in a dark room where in fact there is no black cat, and endeavoring to study the cat's properties and how it may have evolved from its ancestors.Bangambiki Habyarimana
19
The eyes of god are upon you, I mean the eyes of society. We are prisoners of societies in which we liveBangambiki Habyarimana
20
You take away my golden dreams and my visions of paradise, in its place you wake me up and hand me your reasons and facts and crude reality. You have ruined my life. If I commit murder or hang myself, let the god I used to pray to repay you in full.Bangambiki Habyarimana
21
A spiritual realm is more obedient than a temporal one. In a spiritual realm, people obey the Supreme Being through his priests; in a temporal realm people don't obey wholeheartedly as they distrust their corrupt officials.Bangambiki Habyarimana
22
If you believe that God is good and that He loves you without regard to whom you are or what you do, you will worship Him wholeheartedly. You will praise him with thanksgiving. If you believe He is angry against you, you will come to him with fear and trying to appease his anger. And you don't know when His anger will be over. Such a god keeps you in a perpetual psychological anguish. That is the typical kind of god we usually worship. That is the typical god approved by authority. .Bangambiki Habyarimana
23
Each mind conceives god in its own way. There may be as many variation of the god figure as there are people in the worldBangambiki Habyarimana
24
God has not yet revealed himself to no one in no unclear terms. Religions are attempts to find him on that level they are all equalBangambiki Habyarimana
25
What is needed is not that a religion be true, meaning that what it claims exist beyond the ink it is written with in a holy book. That is hard to prove. What is important is that a religion be a good system to help us mere mortal deal with our short and troubled life in the universe. Whether what we hope for in the afterlife materializes or not is not important, what is important is that we believe it will materialize and that gives us hope. .Bangambiki Habyarimana
26
Much terror in religion is not the will of god, it is created by power hungry clerics who thirst for absolute power and claim it for god. God does not seek power, he is already powerful.Bangambiki Habyarimana
27
No holy book is more inspired than the other. They are all inspired according to their gods.Bangambiki Habyarimana
28
Anyone can write a holy book, if he feels god is calling him to do soBangambiki Habyarimana
29
No one knows what god thinks of anything. He only knows and no one can claim to penetrate into his mysteries. Those who do that are liars and must be avoided at all costsBangambiki Habyarimana
30
It's utter arrogance to think that we can know what god ought to be or do. If we don't understand we must continue our search or recognize our ignoranceBangambiki Habyarimana
31
All religions are "revealed" and "inspired". After all nothing happens without the "will" of god.Bangambiki Habyarimana
32
If we believe that god is the creator of evil, maybe there is evil also in heaven, if that is the case, we are not out of the woods yetBangambiki Habyarimana
33
Don't create unbelief or doubt in people's minds. When you do so you ruin their lives and you have nothing to give them in its place. It's ok if people delude themselves those delusions keep their day running.Bangambiki Habyarimana
34
An atheist is a disappointed true believer he is an angry and hungry soul who has failed to find a real god to whom he can anchor his hopeBangambiki Habyarimana
35
All religions are man-made God has not yet revealed himself beyond doubt to anybody.Bangambiki Habyarimana

38
Religion is a theory about everything that needs to be proved only after death those who prove or disprove it never come back to us to tell the storyBangambiki Habyarimana
39
It's impossible to do science without faith. Sometimes scientists build theories on the premises of faulty assumptions until they discover they were in error and begin again from square one until they discover the true theory. It's quite different with theologians, they build false theory upon false theory until they give you detailed descriptions of heaven and hell and construct dogmas to protect their errors and if you dare say they are in error they condemn you to eternal damnation they arrived at through false theories .Bangambiki Habyarimana
40
There is no difference between ancient and modern paganism. Christianity has five gods: three that band together against one who apparently has managed to stand his ground for millennia, and a mother of god who is worshiped at the same level as the other members of the quadrinityBangambiki Habyarimana
41
On close analysis, it would seem that there is a possibility that we are god's robotsBangambiki Habyarimana
42
I believe only in one God, creator of everything that exists, visible and invisible, good and evil. I believe that he will ultimately save every soul and give it eternal life.Bangambiki Habyarimana
43
Yes an atheist priest can perfectly minister to a believing congregation and miracles can happen in that congregation. Miracles depend on the faith of the believer, not that of the officiant. A bartender who never takes alcohol can serve alcohol to his clients. What is necessary is that the priest believes he is doing the good work. The congregation needs faith and it helps them. It would be evil to deny them such a service in the name of his lack of faith. - Bangambiki Habyarimana.Bangambiki Habyarimana
44
We all want to become more than we are, we want to live forever, that is why we hate death and create the afterlife.Bangambiki Habyarimana
45
Belief in God puts our life on autopilot. We know that someone up there is watching us and is in control. Losing our faith puts off the autopilot, we have to run it manually, and check if everything is alright for ourselves. No wonder religion has a wide appeal; most of us are lazy and would like a supreme being to be in chargeBangambiki Habyarimana
46
Religion is pure hypnosisBangambiki Habyarimana
47
All religions are guessworkBangambiki Habyarimana

God is powerful. Even those who claim not to believe in him fear him. Though their mouths may confess to disbelieve in him, their hearts yearn for him.Bangambiki Habyarimana
51
All atheists will go to heaven. If god exists, not believing in him does not take him away and he cannot justly condemn those who seek him earnestly and cannot find him. He would even reward their earnest search for him.Bangambiki Habyarimana
52
He is an atheist anyone who does not believe in my god and the wrath of god is upon him; I am in my right to meet that wrath on him, " thunders the fanaticBangambiki Habyarimana

After all, I wasn’t even sure if the ancient causes belonged to me in the first place because being born into a belief tended to make me feel more like I belonged to it instead.J.D. Brewer

What is it that makes us who we are and what we are? Is it only our blood, the color of our hair, our skin, and our eyes? Or is it believing in what we believe and living the way we live?Aleksandra Layland

Edward, maybe you're seeking the wrong answer? You are asking the wrong question. It's not what you believe, but how you choose to believe. Everyone believes something. Even nothing is something.RJ Blizzard
