God is only as strong as your belief in him.Sachin Kumar Puli

Although I'm an atheist, I try not to crap all over people's belief in God. It may be nothing more than a placebo, a fairy tale that gives the hopeless hope, but sometimes a little hope is all people need to get through the day. Imagine a unit of soldiers under heavy enemy fire. They are told by their superiors to hold their position, even in the face of overwhelming fire power. The soldiers are being told that reinforcements are on the way, and that thought alone gives them the hope and courage to continue fighting, even if ultimately the reinforcements never arrive. I think some people simply need to believe that God is sending them reinforcements, to get through another day.Oliver Gaspirtz

Keep the faith. The vision is always for the appointed time. Be patient, prayerful and wait for the fulfillment of your visions.Lailah Gifty Akita
20
Usually without realizing it, our ultimate peace starts and ends in the authority of God alone, which means the solution to living in joy, peace, and harmony with our fellow men has been here for all since the beginning of mankind and throughout civilization. I have yet to feel the urge to argue politics: it reminds me of getting off the freeway to sit in raging traffic.Criss Jami

Faith Never does seem FeasibleJocelyn Andersen
22
Faith in God will elevate you to next level blessings.Germany Kent
23
It is of the very nature of partial seeing that we cannot see all the reconciliation of the parts we see, because it is only in the whole that they are one, and we do not see the whole. The word we form cannot wholly express God: only the Word He generates can do that. To be irked at this necessary darkness is as though we were irked at not being God.Frank Sheed
24
Never let fear control you, let faith take control.Gift Gugu Mona

If you say something as if it were, that isn't, is it considered a lie, or speaking it into existence?NZuri Za Austin

For now, I look to God, for I know He will respond to my questions. For I believe, in the deepest part of my heart, that He shall truly bring us into a frame of mind where we may hear His greatest responses .. . Perhaps not the final answers, but at the very least, the next response we need.Alexandra Silber

37
His faith was like the radar of a bat, it took him through the darkness that surrounded him. It would guide him through everything that evil would throw at him. When his body gave up, God’s powers lifted him up and kept his heart thumping.Mark A. Cooper
38
Lucas couldn’t have imagined that he would have ever felt so alone. No family, no friends. Even his own village had turned against him. He peered into the icy water; it looked like it was about to freeze over. Maybe I should drown myself before I freeze to death? he pondered. Was there no one to help? He instinctively bowed his head and prayed. A warm feeling engulfed his battered body. “I’m not alone, I will never be alone. God is with me, ” he blubbered.Mark A. Cooper
39
Dharma is not about believing in God. It’s about making the right choices, doing the right things and leading the right life.Anurag Shourie
41
In India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone - the bed-rock - the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built.Abhijit Naskar
42
The traditional Indian mind has been for centuries, and still is, first religious, and then everything else.Abhijit Naskar
43
It is in the nature of the human mind to give in, and hold on, to the source of solace with all the might it can muster. Life is hard and any figure that tends to ease the subjective perception of that hardship, attains a high pedestal of utmost reverence in the realm of the individual mind. It all takes place at a molecular level in the human brain with the purpose of self-preservation.Abhijit Naskar

The depths of her thoughts will have you never wanting to surface for air...Maquita Donyel Irvin

Religion should teach about hope to come for all, not terror for someBangambiki Habyarimana
46
Good gods are scarce because the majority of gods are created by evil menBangambiki Habyarimana
47
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
48
Every word that comes after "And the Lord told me... “is a pious lieBangambiki Habyarimana

Give me something to worship whatever.” Cries the human soulBangambiki Habyarimana
51
Spiritual leaders, priests and prophets are lamps burning in the dark, seeking meaning for humanity.Bangambiki Habyarimana
52
Science cannot disprove god. Science studies the things that are. The eternal question is who or what made them to beBangambiki Habyarimana
53
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
54
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
55
There is nothing behind the curtains of religions, people put there whatever their imaginations can fathomBangambiki Habyarimana

Apologetics=faith is weak, lets defend itBangambiki Habyarimana
59
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
60
The eyes of god are upon you, I mean the eyes of society. We are prisoners of societies in which we liveBangambiki Habyarimana
61
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
62
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
63
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
64
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
65
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
66
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
67
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
68
No holy book is more inspired than the other. They are all inspired according to their gods.Bangambiki Habyarimana
69
Anyone can write a holy book, if he feels god is calling him to do soBangambiki Habyarimana
70
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
71
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
72
All religions are "revealed" and "inspired". After all nothing happens without the "will" of god.Bangambiki Habyarimana
73
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
74
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
75
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
76
All religions are man-made God has not yet revealed himself beyond doubt to anybody.Bangambiki Habyarimana
77
When you have doubts about God, the right position to take is agnosticism, atheism is outright arroganceBangambiki Habyarimana

The more time you invest into studying religion, the more likely you are to disbelieve in the godsBangambiki Habyarimana
79
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
80
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
81
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
82
On close analysis, it would seem that there is a possibility that we are god's robotsBangambiki Habyarimana
83
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
84
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
85
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
86
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
87
Religion is pure hypnosisBangambiki Habyarimana
88
All religions are guessworkBangambiki Habyarimana
89
My gut instinct is that these heavens and hells exist nowhere else except in our hearts and mindsBangambiki Habyarimana
90
Don’t curse the gods you will feel shame when you have to call on them for helpBangambiki Habyarimana
91
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
92
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
93
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
94
You can't have it both ways. Either you believe in my god or you go to hellBangambiki Habyarimana
95
Do you have an anchor? I have found that a solid anchor is indispensable to one who intends to live life fully. To have an anchor is to be centered and well grounded. It is to have a vital spiritual base.Steve Goodier
96
Atheists are the most honest of the human race. These people are unable to live a double life; they are unable to lie to themselves. Of course it's an evolutionary handicap, and if that handicap was widespread, our species would run the risk of extinctionBangambiki Habyarimana
97
From the club of what atheist call false hope and false god (which offer solace to weak minds), atheist are calling you to their club of no god and no hope (which offers nothing in return. Join the club only if you are a strong minded individual capable of handling your life alone without the help of gods. )Bangambiki Habyarimana
98
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
99
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
100
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
