The power of hope! Even a lack of ambition can, for a time, pay off as a necessary facet, as long as hope outweighs it.Criss Jami

Good gods are scarce because the majority of gods are created by evil menBangambiki Habyarimana
3
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
4
Every word that comes after "And the Lord told me... “is a pious lieBangambiki Habyarimana
5
Give me something to worship whatever.” Cries the human soulBangambiki Habyarimana
6
Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.Bangambiki Habyarimana
7
Science cannot disprove god. Science studies the things that are. The eternal question is who or what made them to beBangambiki Habyarimana
8
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

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
10
Once you believe that god is not a private property of anybody, you are on your way to becoming a new messiah. Maybe your own if not the world'sBangambiki Habyarimana
11
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
12
The eyes of god are upon you, I mean the eyes of society. We are prisoners of societies in which we liveBangambiki Habyarimana
13
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
14
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
15
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
16
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
17
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
18
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
19
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
20
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
21
All religions are "revealed" and "inspired". After all nothing happens without the "will" of god.Bangambiki Habyarimana
22
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
23
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
24
When you have doubts about God, the right position to take is agnosticism, atheism is outright arroganceBangambiki Habyarimana
25
All religions are guessworkBangambiki Habyarimana
26
My gut instinct is that these heavens and hells exist nowhere else except in our hearts and mindsBangambiki Habyarimana
27
Don’t curse the gods you will feel shame when you have to call on them for helpBangambiki Habyarimana
28
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
29
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
30
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
31
You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hellBangambiki Habyarimana
32
An atheist is someone who is disappointed in his search of god. He is a man who strongly needed god but couldn't find him. Atheism is a cry of despairBangambiki Habyarimana
33
I know what is going on in the heart of an atheist. Deep anguish that there is nothing beyond, nothing to live for, nothing to give him hope. I know because I endured the same predicament.Bangambiki Habyarimana
34
After losing faith, even an atheist feels a yawning void in his soul that needs filling; there is nothing imaginable that he can fill with it. It was all along meant to be filled with the sacred, with the unknown and unknowable power. That's the curse or blessing of humanityBangambiki Habyarimana
35
Sometimes I reach the highest heights of hope, at other times I reach the deepest of despair. Sometimes I am happy, at other times I am sad. At some point I am a believer, and at some other time an unbeliever. Sometimes I love, some other times I hate. That’s what it means to be human.Bangambiki Habyarimana
