There is exactly the same degree of possibility and likelihood of the existence of the Christian God as there is of the existence of the Homeric god. I cannot prove that either the Christian god or the Homeric gods do not exist, but I do not think that their existence is an alternative that is sufficiently probable to be worth serious consideration. ~ Bertrand Russell
Homeric Gods quotes by Bertrand Russell
As an empiricist I continue to think of the conceptual scheme of science as a tool, ultimately, for predicting future experience in the light of past experience. Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries-not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer. For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conception only as cultural posits. The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of experience. ~ Willard Van Orman Quine
Homeric Gods quotes by Willard Van Orman Quine
All his life Tyrion had prided himself on his cunning, the only gift the gods had seen fit to give him, and yet this seven-times-damned she-wolf Catelyn Stark had outwitted him at every turn. The ~ George R R Martin
Homeric Gods quotes by George R R Martin
Christian, let God's distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that this fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved. ~ John Bunyan
Homeric Gods quotes by John Bunyan
Why do we need to justify God's existence? He exists. We need to justify our own existence. ~ Hamza Yusuf
Homeric Gods quotes by Hamza Yusuf
When you combine this sacred text with the belief that one's group alone has a unique revelation, then you can say to others, "With all due respect, my good friends, God does not hear your prayers because you do not believe as I do." Why do they say that? Because they combine an infallible book with unique revelation and think they have become God's chosen people. They want us to believe that they alone are God's and know how to interpret the Bible, since God cannot speak for herself. These presumptions of sacred text and unique revelation combine to create an arrogance of faith that is arguably the most destructive force in the world. It has gone on for centuries and it continues. ~ Robert Alley
Homeric Gods quotes by Robert Alley
It is not for the gods to decide whether or not Man exists - it is for Man to decide whether or not the gods exist. ~ J. Michael Straczynski
Homeric Gods quotes by J. Michael Straczynski
The devil's overriding goal is to block God's work - and if he can convince you God doesn't really love you, or that you can't fully trust Him, then he has blocked God's work in your life and achieved his goal. ~ Billy Graham
Homeric Gods quotes by Billy Graham
Slow but sure moves the might of the gods. ~ Euripides
Homeric Gods quotes by Euripides
The ancients could communicate with the gods in two ways. First, it was (and is) possible to go into a trance and visit the gods in their celestial retreats, as the great shamans have always done. More easily, and less dangerously, they could let the gods speak through code, that is, divination, using dice, entrails, bird patterns, yarrow sticks, cards. ~ Rachel Pollack
Homeric Gods quotes by Rachel Pollack
All the gods are the same unknowable mystery, just as each face of a jewel strikes light in a different direction ~ Kate Constable
Homeric Gods quotes by Kate Constable
There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, - in God's good time ~ Jules Verne
Homeric Gods quotes by Jules Verne
God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it-not because of who we are, but because of who He is. ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Homeric Gods quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
The Pharisee isn't loving his neighbor as God's law requires - instead, he looks down on his neighbors, so he can feel good about himself. He doesn't love God with all his heart, soul, mind and strength, as the law says: he's using God for his own ego-grooming. He's like a terrible date: "Nice to meet you. Now let me talk about myself for an hour. ~ Nick McDonald
Homeric Gods quotes by Nick McDonald
The two lovers then hugged & embraced each other as Zeus said that he had to leave soon: he did not want the Gods & Goddesses of Olympus to get too worked up about his disappearance. Then Aphrodite kissed her beloved on the lips & pressed his mouth open with her tongue. And their tongues made contact & liked the feel of each other. And so they kissed with their tongues lashing excitedly in each other`s mouth, with love & passion. And that was the first time Gods & Goddesses kissed that way. ~ Nicholas Chong
Homeric Gods quotes by Nicholas Chong
Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God's Good News to you without expecting anything in return? - 2 Corinthians 11:7 ~ Gary Chapman
Homeric Gods quotes by Gary Chapman
So we climb," Meg announced.
"Hello?" I said miserably. "Paralysed former god here."
Grover grimaced at Meg. "Duct tape?"
"Duct tape," she agreed.
May the gods defend me from heroes with duct tape. And heroes always seem to have duct tape. Meg produced a roll from a pouch on her gardening belt. She propped me into a sitting position, back-to-back with Grover, then proceeded to loop tape under our armpits, binding me to the satyr as if I were a hiking pack.
With Meg's help, Grover staggered to his feet, jostling me around so I got random views of the walls, the floor, Meg's face and my own paralysed legs manspreading beneath me. ~ Rick Riordan
Homeric Gods quotes by Rick Riordan
It is wonderful how shy even liberal ministers generally are about trusting people with the plain truth concerning their religion. They want to veil it in a supernatural haze. They are very reluctant to part with the old idea that God has given to Jews and Christians a peculiar monopoly of truth. It is a selfish view of God's government of the world, and it is time that we knew enough to outgrow it. ~ Lydia M. Child
Homeric Gods quotes by Lydia M. Child
And when other people see me play basketball ... the way I treat my teammates, the opponents, the refs, that's all a reflection of God's image and God's love so that's the stuff I try to focus on. ~ Jeremy Lin
Homeric Gods quotes by Jeremy Lin
As I count my blessings, I feel God's Loving Hands touching each of them. ~ Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Homeric Gods quotes by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Now is the time to make justice a reality for all God's children. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Homeric Gods quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
There was no point in the gods trying to separate us. Whether we were on Earth or in hell, we'd spend the rest our days look for the other. ~ Taisha DeAza
Homeric Gods quotes by Taisha DeAza
The ivory images of the gods that followed were applauded by their particular devotees: Neptune by sailors, Mars by soldiers, Apollo and Artemis by soothsayers and hunters, Minerva by craftsmen, Bacchus and Ceres by drunks and countryfolk in town for the day. Venus and Cupid were cheered by all - who could be so dull as to deny ever being touched by any aspect, physical or otherwise, of love? ~ Harry Sidebottom
Homeric Gods quotes by Harry Sidebottom
The devil's first trick is to get us to say, "I have not sinned." And then his last blow is to make us think, "My sin is too great to be forgiven." But humble faith accepts God's judgment upon itself, and escapes judgment. ~ A.B. Simpson
Homeric Gods quotes by A.B. Simpson
Know the facts of God's Word - what belongs to you and who you are in Him. ~ Kenneth E. Hagin
Homeric Gods quotes by Kenneth E. Hagin
Religion, then, is far from "useless." It humanizes violence; it protects man from his own violence by taking it out of his hands, transforming it into a transcendent and ever-present danger to be kept in check by the appropriate rites appropriately observed and by a modest and prudent demeanor. Religious misinterpretation is a truly constructive force, for it purges man of the suspicions that would poison his existence if he were to remain conscious of the crisis as it actually took place.

To think religiously is to envision the city's destiny in terms of that violence whose mastery over man increases as man believes he has gained mastery over it. To think religiously (in the primitive sense) is to see violence as something superhuman, to be kept always at a distance and ultimately renounced. When the fearful adoration of this power begins to diminish and all distinctions begin to disappear, the ritual sacrifices lose their force; their potency is not longer recognized by the entire community. Each member tries to correct the situation individually, and none succeeds. The withering away of the transcendental influence means that there is no longer the slightest difference between a desire to save the city and unbridled ambition, between genuine piety and the desire to claim divine status for oneself. Everyone looks on a rival enterprise as evidence of blasphemous designs. Men set to quarreling about the gods, and their skepticism leads to a new sacrificial crisis ~ Rene Girard
Homeric Gods quotes by Rene Girard
Any fear associated with giving to God's kingdom is irrational. It's on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields. ~ Andy Stanley
Homeric Gods quotes by Andy Stanley
Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God's single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence. ~ Peter Kreeft
Homeric Gods quotes by Peter Kreeft
If you think it is spiritual to burn food in front of starving people in hopes that your gods will bring this back to you in triplicate, you are missing the point and sowing animosity from all sides. ~ Thomm Quackenbush
Homeric Gods quotes by Thomm Quackenbush
Part of facing the unknown requires dropping an anchor of faith into the depths of God's sovereignty. ~ James Stuart Bell Jr.
Homeric Gods quotes by James Stuart Bell Jr.
The Bible contains the revelation of the will of God. It contains the history of the creation of the world, and of mankind. ~ John Quincy Adams
Homeric Gods quotes by John Quincy Adams
In short, according to the Old Testament and ancient Jewish tradition, the hope of God's people was for the restoration of Israel from exile, the ingathering of the Gentile nations, and the renewal of creation itself. It was a hope that God, by means of a new exodus, would one day "make all things new" (Revelation 21:5). ~ Brant Pitre
Homeric Gods quotes by Brant Pitre
God's rarest blessing is, after all, a good woman! ~ George Meredith
Homeric Gods quotes by George Meredith
No intelligent person, the sophisticated pagan might have explained, actually worshiped images of the gods, or worshiped living emperors; instead, the gods' images - and the images of the emperors themselves - provided an accessible focus for revering the cosmic forces they represented. ~ Elaine Pagels
Homeric Gods quotes by Elaine Pagels
Some things you will think of yourself, ... some things God will put into your mind ~ Homer
Homeric Gods quotes by Homer
We look at mountains and call them eternal, and they seem ... but in the course of time, mountains rise and fall, rivers change their courses, starts fall from the sky, and great cities sink beneath the sea. Even gods die, we think. Everything changes. ~ George R R Martin
Homeric Gods quotes by George R R Martin
Today more than ever, we are in need not only of godly pastors and Bible teachers, but also godly lawyers, politicians, diplomats, judges, doctors, economists, educators, artists, carpenters, mechanics, and used car salesmen who see their jobs as a way to honorably represent God's ways in daily living. ~ Christian Overman
Homeric Gods quotes by Christian Overman
The will is free; Strong is the soul, and wise, and beautiful; The seeds of godlike power are in us still; Gods are we, bards, saints, heroes, if we will! ~ Matthew Arnold
Homeric Gods quotes by Matthew Arnold
We sit in meditation and cry to God, we cry to the light, as little children, knowing God will do everything for us. ~ Frederick Lenz
Homeric Gods quotes by Frederick Lenz
God doesn't make us rich so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children, or so we can insulate ourselves form needing God's provision. God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously. ~ Randy Alcorn
Homeric Gods quotes by Randy Alcorn
This is the Scroll of Thoth. Herein are set down the magic words by which Isis raised Osiris from the dead. Oh! Amon-Ra
Oh! God of Gods
Death is but the doorway to new life
We live today-we shall live again
In many forms shall we return-Oh, mighty one. ~ John L. Balderston
Homeric Gods quotes by John L. Balderston
Today, remember that you're worse than you think you are. But remember, also, that God's gift of righteousness to you is greater than you could ever imagine. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Homeric Gods quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Our eyes were on the Other-world, the stars, the gods.
We didn't keep watch on the world around us.
And when we eventually lowered our heads and studied the waters closer to home, it was too late. ~ Darren Shan
Homeric Gods quotes by Darren Shan
I considered that the world, and especially the cinema, was burdened with false gods. My task was to overthrow them. Sword in hand, I was ready to consecrate my life to the task. But the false gods are still there. My perseverance during a half-century of cinema has perhaps helped to topple a few of them. It has likewise helped me to discover that some of the gods were real, and had no need to be toppled. ~ Jean Renoir
Homeric Gods quotes by Jean Renoir
When all's said and done they're a strange breed, these South and East Londoners, and they're amused by little things. Their love of jellied eels and pie 'n' mash is astonishing. "Food of the Gods," they call it, as they enter some filthy hovel to order pie 'n' mash, without even knowing what they're eating. I've asked what meat it is and been told, "Meat? Its pie, pie 'n' mash with liquor. Food of the Gods."
But it's not food of the Gods at all. It's just pie and mashed potatoes, and that's it. Nothing special about it. There's nothing nostalgic about it. It's not Bermondsey Billy Wells or the Artful Dodger. It's just a meat pie and mashed potatoes. And it looks like Barry Manilow's blown his nose in it. ~ Karl Wiggins
Homeric Gods quotes by Karl Wiggins
Education is the key to Afghanistan's successful future, Fawad, because it fights ignorance and intolerance and brings the blessing of opportunity. When a man has knowledge he has power- the power to make informed decisions; the power to distinguish truth from lies; and the power to shape his own destiny in accordance with God's wills. He is stronger than the ignorant man, who can do nothing but blindly accept the supposed learning of another. ~ Andrea Busfield
Homeric Gods quotes by Andrea Busfield
Unless you and I strive to obey the Lord in our homes, we will create a spiritually poisonous atmosphere that will infect our children with disrespect for authority - both ours and God's. Pay close attention to this principle: we reap what we sow. Our disobedience today may become our children's rebellion tomorrow. ~ Charles F. Stanley
Homeric Gods quotes by Charles F. Stanley
I'm an executioner, Leta, hence my Demon nickname. They send me in to take the heads off people and gods who've stepped over the line, usually only because someone has PMS. You want justice, Themis's office is down the hall on the left. You want death and dismemberment, I'm your man ... or rather god. (Deimos) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Homeric Gods quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Smiling face of every little girl is the signature of God's presence. ~ Amit Ray
