The atheist can appeal to nothing absolute,
nothing objectively true for all people,
it is just mere opinion enforced by might.
The Christian appeals to a standard outside
imself/herself in which truth and qualitative values
can be made sense of.
- Peter Huff -
The theory that thought is merely a movement in the brain is,
in my opinion, nonsense; for if so,
that theory itself would be merely a movement,
an event among atoms, which may have speed and direction
but of which it would be meaningless to use the words ‘true’ or ‘false’.
- C.S. Lewis -
The real attitude of sin in the heart
towards God is that of being without God;
it is pride, the worship of myself,
that is the great atheistic fact in human life.
- Oswald Chambers -
Absent an absolute moral authority independent of fallible humans,
the only meaning “wrong†could have (pertaining to conduct) would
be “in opposition to X,†or “falling short of X’s standards,â€
which are only persuasive to those who have already accepted X.
- Calvin Freiburger -
Humanism or atheism is a wonderful
philosophy of life as long as you are big, strong,
and between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five.
But watch out if you are in a lifeboat and
there are others who are younger, bigger, or smarter.
- William Murray -
I do not feel obliged to believe that
same God who endowed us with sense,
reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use.
- Galileo -
The loneliest moment in life is when
you have just experienced that which
you thought would deliver the ultimate,
and it has just let you down.
- Ravi Zacharias -
Men occasionally stumble over the truth,
but most of them pick themselves up
and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
- Winston Churchill -
man can no more diminish God’s glory by
refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put
out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on
the walls of his cell.
- C.S. Lewis -
