If there is a God, man's immortality is certain. If not, Immortality would not be worth having. ~ Edgar S. Brightman
There Is A God quotes by Edgar S. Brightman
if there is a light then i am going to
swallow it. if there is a god then
i'm going to make him cry. ~ S. Osborn
There Is A God quotes by S. Osborn
You know what the Englishman's idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements. ~ William Butler Yeats
There Is A God quotes by William Butler Yeats
There is a God we want and a God who is, and the two are not the same. ~ Ligon Duncan
There Is A God quotes by Ligon Duncan
If there be a God, I think he would like me to paint Africa British-Red as possible. ~ Cecil Rhodes
There Is A God quotes by Cecil Rhodes
If there is a God, he is a malign thug. ~ Mark Twain
There Is A God quotes by Mark Twain
If there is a god, he is not only a wizard at leaving clues behind. More than anything, he's a master of concealment. And the world is not something that gives itself away. The heavens still keep their secrets. There is little gossip amongst the stars. But no one has forgotten the Big Bang yet. Since then, silence has reigned supreme, and every thing there is moving away. One can still come across a moon. Or a comet. Just don't expect friendly greetings. No visiting cards are printed in space. ~ Jostein Gaarder
There Is A God quotes by Jostein Gaarder
I cannot be called upon to know a negative or to prove a negative. if there is a god and you prove it, that's fine. but you don't tell me you can't know that there isn't. i would say yes i know there isn't because i have been given no evidence. ~ Ayn Rand
There Is A God quotes by Ayn Rand
Basic atheism is not a belief. It is the lack of belief. There is a difference between believing there is no god and not believing there is a god - both are atheistic, though popular usage has ignored the latter. ~ Dan Barker
There Is A God quotes by Dan Barker
Who do you want to turn into?" I mean the question to be mocking, but that's not how it comes out. I sound interested. I reach down and scratch my leg, trying to hid my embarrassment.
Bishop looks at me. "Someone honest. Someone who tries to do the right thing. Someone who follows his own heart, even if it disappoints people." He pauses. "Someone brave enough to be all those things."
A boy who doesn't want to lie, married to a girl who can't tell the truth. If there is a God, he has a sick sense of humor. ~ Amy Engel
There Is A God quotes by Amy Engel
There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all ... It seems as though somebody has fine tuned nature's numbers to make the Universe ... The impression of design is overwhelming. ~ Paul Davies
There Is A God quotes by Paul Davies
To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible's teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn't have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense? ~ Timothy Keller
There Is A God quotes by Timothy Keller
If there is a God, then he was particularly harsh to me. ~ Taylor Caldwell
There Is A God quotes by Taylor Caldwell
Actually, I began to think that maybe there is a god, after all. Or maybe it's a different one. The old one got fired. ~ Terry Gilliam
There Is A God quotes by Terry Gilliam
An atheist, like a Christian, holds that we can know whether or not there is a God. The Christian holds that we can know there is a God; the atheist, that we can know there is not. The Agnostic suspends judgment, saying that there are not sufficient grounds either for affirmation or for denial. At the same time, an Agnostic may hold that the existence of God, though not impossible, is very improbable; he may even hold it so improbable that it is not worth considering in practice. In that case, he is not far removed from atheism. ~ Bertrand Russell
There Is A God quotes by Bertrand Russell
Fearless love looks like this: I don't care what you think of me, there is a God in heaven who loves you so much that you won't care who I am; by the time you meet Him. ~ Shawn Bolz
There Is A God quotes by Shawn Bolz
I've often told people who ask if there is a God: Get around enough people with horses and see what happens. See how they survive in spite of all the things they do, and you'll become a believer! ~ Buck Brannaman
There Is A God quotes by Buck Brannaman
What right has a man to say he has a soul if he does not feel it, or that there is a God if he does not see Him? If there is a God we must see Him, if there is a soul we must perceive it; otherwise it is better not to believe. It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite. ~ Swami Vivekananda
There Is A God quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Most of all I grieve for my soul because even though I do, finally, believe there is a God, and that I have met him, I do not know if he has given me an immortal soul, but only one that was to last me as long as my body lasted. I do not know if when the last page of my book is closed, that will be the end of me. ~ Christopher Pike
There Is A God quotes by Christopher Pike
I will be a good wife," she thought, "that all the earth will know there is a God in Israel. ~ Lois T. Henderson
There Is A God quotes by Lois T. Henderson
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus. ~ Blaise Pascal
There Is A God quotes by Blaise Pascal
There is a God in heaven who overrules all things for the best; and this is the comfort of my soul ... How blessed it is to grow more and more like God! ~ David Brainerd
There Is A God quotes by David Brainerd
If there is a God, I'd like to look him in the face knowing I'd died as I lived. In conscious sin. ~ Sarah Kane
There Is A God quotes by Sarah Kane
I don't believe that prayers actually change God's mind - if there is a God - but I liked praying for people in need. It was like moral weightlifting. I tend to be self-obsessed, and it was nice to get out of my brain once in a while. ~ A. J. Jacobs
There Is A God quotes by A. J. Jacobs
Upon my birth
My mother said
There is a god in you
Can you feel her dancing ~ Rupi Kaur
There Is A God quotes by Rupi Kaur
After all, it's not my fault. I can't force myself to believe. If there is a God after all and he punishes me because I honestly don't believe in Him I can't help it. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
There Is A God quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
There is a god within us, and the heavens
Have intercourse with earth; from realms above
That spirit comes. ~ Ovid
There Is A God quotes by Ovid
Religion is not the belief there is a god. Religion is the belief god tells you what to do. ~ Christopher Hitchens
There Is A God quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I have a strong belief that there is a god or a higher power. I think that if you have a strong belief in that, then you won't feel alone in life and you will feel you can get through anything. ~ Alana Stewart
There Is A God quotes by Alana Stewart
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is. ~ Albert Camus
There Is A God quotes by Albert Camus
If there be a God and one has never sought him, it will be small consolation to remember that one could not get proof of his existence. ~ George MacDonald
There Is A God quotes by George MacDonald
Many people are calling Manti Te'o "dumb" or "naïve" because he fell for the "invisible girlfriend" hoax or catfishing but when you think about it. Religion MIGHT be doing the same thing when it tells you that there is a "God" that you cannot see, or meet, that loves you, & "communicates" with you thru a book (bible).Does that make sense? ~ Pablo
There Is A God quotes by Pablo
While an ever-increasing number of people consider themselves agnostic, the great majority of these people live as if they are atheists, bereft of all the magnificent life-enhancing benefits a God-centered life provides. These individuals are agnostics intellectually, but atheists behaviorally. Such people need to make a choice: Will I live as if there is a God or as if there is no God? You can be an agnostic intellectually, but you cannot live as an agnostic; you live as either a believer or as an atheist. You live either as if life is random chance or as if it is infused with ultimate meaning. Moses chose to look carefully and see a miracle in that burning bush. If we look carefully, we, too, will see a miracle - in everything. ~ Dennis Prager
There Is A God quotes by Dennis Prager
Man's condition ought to impel him to seek to discover whether there is a God and a solution to his predicament. But people occupy their time and their thoughts with trivialities and distractions, so as to avoid the despair, boredom, and anxiety that would inevitably result if those diversions were removed. ~ William Lane Craig
There Is A God quotes by William Lane Craig
Anybody who thinks there's nothing wrong with this world needs to have his head examined. Just when things are going all right, without fail someone or something will come along and spoil everything. Somebody should write that down as a fundamental law of the Universe. The principle of perpetual disappointment. If there is a God who created this world, he should scrap it and try again. ~ Athol Fugard
There Is A God quotes by Athol Fugard
There is a god in writing.
a soft. roaring. unconditional.
home of a god.
who prays to me. ~ Nayyirah Waheed
There Is A God quotes by Nayyirah Waheed
Faith, then, is simply a believing that there is a God who loves us, in spite of the poison of sin coursing through our soul. It is a believing that he loves us even though, like the Israelites of old, we have nothing to bring to him but malignancy, wretched sickness, and grumbling misery. It is believing that he invites us to look to him, to rely upon him, and to trust in him simply to do what he has said. It is believing that if we turn the gaze of our soul upward toward him, he will give us life. The Lord Jesus characterizes the simplicity and certainty of saving faith, stating that it is his Father's will to grant eternal life to all who look on and believe in him. "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day" (John 6:40). ~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
There Is A God quotes by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Faith is not a question of basking in the certainty that there is a God and that God is taking care of us. Many of us are never granted this kind of assurance. Certitude is not the real substance of faith. Faith is a way of seeing things. ~ Ronald Rolheiser
There Is A God quotes by Ronald Rolheiser
There is a God after all. And She watches out for Her own." Dan ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
There Is A God quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. ~ Thomas A. Edison
There Is A God quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Yes, I think I use the term radical rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as atheist some people will say, Don't you mean agnostic? I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It's easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal and that it's an opinion I hold seriously. ~ Douglas Adams
There Is A God quotes by Douglas Adams
Professing to believe has, sadly, played a large role in the practice of religion. It has profoundly stained our understanding of what religion is. Some people seem to profess belief in God "just in case" there is a God. But they neither are committed to nor believe in the idea that God exists. ~ Dallas Willard
There Is A God quotes by Dallas Willard
Have they even seen the Winchester boys? Sammy and Dean's existence proves there is a god and she is a woman. ~ Darynda Jones
There Is A God quotes by Darynda Jones
Atheism is not just about not believing there is a God, but on the assumption that there is one, what kind of God is he? ~ Stephen Fry
There Is A God quotes by Stephen Fry
It's impossible to truly love someone without believing that there is a God who made that person just for you. ~ K.S. Haigwood
There Is A God quotes by K.S. Haigwood
I'm an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call 'the last illusion.' The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what's going on but that the planets know what's going on. ~ Brian Eno
There Is A God quotes by Brian Eno
I don't believe there is a God. I know there is a God. ~ Carl Jung
There Is A God quotes by Carl Jung
To know that we are not God, to know that there is a God, and to know that God, these are the Steps in their essence. – p. 93 ~ Ray A.
There Is A God quotes by Ray A.
There is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say that means there is a God and ignore the true fact of what nature is. ~ Stephen Fry
There Is A God quotes by Stephen Fry
You're not broken beyond repair there is hope. There is a God who knows all the pain you endure and will heal, protect and rejuvenate you. ~ Pauline Seaport
There Is A God quotes by Pauline Seaport
See, once you have begun to experience solitude and silence, you discover that you actually have a soul and that there is a God.Then you can begin to practice Sabbath and that will enable you to re-enter community.You can't have community without Sabbath. ~ Dallas Willard
There Is A God quotes by Dallas Willard
O God, if there is a God, forgive him his sins, if there is such a thing as sin, ~ Evelyn Waugh
There Is A God quotes by Evelyn Waugh
If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having, neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is. [So] you must wager. Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these two chances. If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation that he is. ~ Blaise Pascal
There Is A God quotes by Blaise Pascal
There is a god in every single one of us. And there is evil in every single one of us. The true battle between good and evil is fought within. ~ Anonymous
There Is A God quotes by Anonymous
I love the idea of God, but it's not stylistically in keeping with the way I function. I would describe myself as an enthusiastic agnostic who would be happy to be shown that there is a God. I can see that people who believe in God are happier ... But I doubt. ~ Carrie Fisher
There Is A God quotes by Carrie Fisher
For the assertion that "There is no God" is just as much a claim to knowledge as is the assertion that "There is a God." Therefore, the former assertion requires justification just as the latter does. ~ William Lane Craig
There Is A God quotes by William Lane Craig
And I've been thinking: if the human race manages to destroy itself, as it often seems to want to do, or if some great disaster comes, as it did for the dinosaurs, then the birds will still manage to survive. When our gardens and fields and farms and woods have turned wild, when the park at the end of Falconer Road has turned into a wilderness, when our cities are in ruins, the birds will go on flying and singing and making their nests and laying their eggs and raising their young. It could be that the birds will exist for ever and for ever until the earth itself comes to an end, no matter what might happen to the other creatures. They'll sing until the end of time. So here's my thought: If there is a God, could it be that He's chosen the birds to speak for Him. Could it be true? The voice of God speaks through the beaks of birds. ~ David Almond
There Is A God quotes by David Almond
Everybody is an atheist in saying that there is a god - from Ra to Shiva - in which he does not believe. All that the serious and objective atheist does is to take the next step and to say that there is just one more god to disbelieve in. ~ Richard Dawkins
There Is A God quotes by Richard Dawkins
If there is a God, he will have to beg my forgiveness. ~ Jewish Concentration Camp Prisoner
There Is A God quotes by Jewish Concentration Camp Prisoner
How do I know that there is a God? In the same way that I know, on looking at the sand, when a man or beast has crossed the desert - by His footprints in the world around me. ~ Henry Parry Liddon
There Is A God quotes by Henry Parry Liddon
The history of man proves that religion perverts man's concept of life and the universe, and has made him a cringing coward before the blind forces of nature.
If you believe that there is a God; that man was 'created'; that he was forbidden to eat of the fruit of the 'tree of knowledge'; that he disobeyed; that he is a 'fallen angel'; that he is paying the penalty for his 'sins,' then you devote your time praying to appease an angry and jealous God.
If, on the other hand, you believe that the universe is a great mystery; that man is the product of evolution; that he is born without knowledge; that intelligence comes from experience, then you devote your time and energies to improving his condition with the hope of securing a little happiness here for yourself and your fellow man.
That is the difference.
If man was 'created,' then someone made a grievous mistake. ~ Joseph Lewis
There Is A God quotes by Joseph Lewis
I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing. ~ Allan Sandage
There Is A God quotes by Allan Sandage
Are you asking me if there is a god?' he said, still in that soft voice. 'All I can say is, I believe there is. I feel him when I sing. He has responded to my prayers countless times. He guides my actions and he dwells in my heart. I know he is there. ~ Sharon Shinn
There Is A God quotes by Sharon Shinn
I know there is a God because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. I have seen him, I have smelled him and I have touched him. I know the devil exists and therefore I know there is a God. ~ Romeo Dallaire
There Is A God quotes by Romeo Dallaire
Almost every time I am in a lectureship on a college campus, young people will say, If there is a God and if he is a loving and merciful God, how do you explain the problems of suffering and death and all the tragedies that happen to people? ~ John Clayton
There Is A God quotes by John Clayton
Preacher says there is a god-shaped void in everybody life but the only thing ghetto people can fill a void with is void. ~ Marlon James
There Is A God quotes by Marlon James
Such is the dilemma of the atheist. Who to thank? It's a terrible condition, to feel one's heart swelling with the wonders of our world and yet have nobody to thank for it. It makes a man feel thwarted. ~ Janet Turpin Myers
There Is A God quotes by Janet Turpin Myers
If it were proven that there is no God there would be no religion ... But also if it were proven that there is a God, there would be no religion. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
There Is A God quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Bankers - pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted. ~ John Ralston Saul
There Is A God quotes by John Ralston Saul
There is a God! And his name be Awesome, the Mighty. ~ Brian Clevinger
There Is A God quotes by Brian Clevinger
When we say there is a GOD, we mean that there is an intelligent designing cause of what we see in the world around us, and a being who was himself uncaused. ~ Joseph Priestley
There Is A God quotes by Joseph Priestley
God - if there is a God - would not choose one man above another or one people above another. ~ Pearl S. Buck
There Is A God quotes by Pearl S. Buck
And I mean, if there is a God it's probably a good idea to believe in him. But if there isn't a God, then we're just an accident of nature, a virus, pond scum gone berserk, and it won't matter one way or another if I believe or not because who cares?
And so if it doesn't matter, then I choose to believe. There's something mindful about it, about the universe having a heart, us being watched over, maybe life and everything meaning something. ~ Martine Leavitt
There Is A God quotes by Martine Leavitt
God the Eater
There is a god in whom I do not believe
Yet to this god my love stretches,
This god whom I do not believe in is
My whole life, my life and I am his.
Everything that I have of pleasure and pain
(Of pain, of bitter pain and men's contempt)
I give this god for him to feed upon
As he is my whole life and I am his.
When I am dead I hope that he will eat
Everything I have been and have not been
And crunch and feed upon it and grow fat
Eating my life all up as it is his. ~ Stevie Smith
There Is A God quotes by Stevie Smith
Atheism comes into rather a bad press and I suppose I'd rather describe myself as a humanist ... I don't believe in God. I don't believe there is a God. ~ Stephen Fry
There Is A God quotes by Stephen Fry
Of course no one will consider," said Anisim, and he heaved a sigh. "There is no God, anyway, you know, mamma, so what considering can there be?"
Varvara looked at him with surprise, burst out laughing, and clasped her hands. Perhaps because she was so genuinely surprised at his words and looked at him as though he were a queer person, he was confused.
"Perhaps there is a God, only there is no faith. When I was being married I was not myself. Just as you may take an egg from under a hen and there is a chicken chirping in it, so my conscience was beginning to chirp in me, and while I was being married I thought all the time there was a God! But when I left the church it was nothing. And indeed, how can I tell whether there is a God or not? We are not taught right from childhood, and while the babe is still at his mother's breast he is only taught 'every man to his own job.' Father does not believe in God, either. You were saying that Guntorev had some sheep stolen.... I have found them; it was a peasant at Shikalovo stole them; he stole them, but father's got the fleeces ... so that's all his faith amounts to. ~ Anton Chekhov
There Is A God quotes by Anton Chekhov
Reality (i.e., the truth) is that there is a God in heaven. Reality is that He made us and we are accountable to Him. Reality is that this God has spoken and what He says matters
eternally. Reality is that without His salvation, we are doomed to eternal torment. Reality is that God's Son, Jesus Christ, has died for the sins of the world, that He has risen again, and that whoever believes on Him is given eternal life. ~ Jim Berg
There Is A God quotes by Jim Berg
Hitler wrote: "Mind and soul ultimately return to the collective being of the world. If there is a God, then he gives us not only life but also consciousness and awareness. If I live my life according to my God-given insights, then I cannot go wrong, and even if I do, I know that I have acted in good faith."134 For many of my uncritically "tolerant" students, there would be nothing here with which theologically to disagree. For them too, the mere sincerity of being true to your inner self guarantees that you can't go wrong when you act in good faith. My introductory exercise sometimes succeeds in shocking students out of the lazy complacency of uncritical tolerance of any and all theologies.135 Sincerity does not count for much.136 ~ Paul R. Hinlicky
There Is A God quotes by Paul R. Hinlicky
It is astonishing that any man can forbear enquiring seriously whether there is a God; whether God is just; whether this life is the only state of existence. ~ Samuel Johnson
There Is A God quotes by Samuel Johnson
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory. ~ Richard Dawkins
There Is A God quotes by Richard Dawkins
What are the chances there is a God, really? ~ Sarah Silverman
There Is A God quotes by Sarah Silverman
The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. I think that the worst thing you could say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. After all, you know, there are worse things in life than death. ~ Woody Allen
There Is A God quotes by Woody Allen
You and I are living in a universe where there is a God, a loving God, a God whose heart goes out in love and yearning over you. But I want to say this to you: if you turn your back on Him He will judge you even though He still loves you. He is the righteous God of this universe. ~ J. Vernon McGee
There Is A God quotes by J. Vernon McGee
If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong. ~ Virgil
There Is A God quotes by Virgil
If you describe yourself as "Atheist," some people will say, "Don't you mean 'Agnostic'?" I have to reply that I really do mean Atheist. I really do not believe that there is a god - in fact I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one. It's easier to say that I am a radical Atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it's an opinion I hold seriously. It's funny how many people are genuinely surprised to hear a view expressed so strongly. In England we seem to have drifted from vague wishy-washy Anglicanism to vague wishy-washy Agnosticism - both of which I think betoken a desire not to have to think about things too much. ~ Douglas Adams
There Is A God quotes by Douglas Adams
If there is a God, he's a great mathematician. ~ Paul Dirac
There Is A God quotes by Paul Dirac
One entry was entitled: "About God":
"This thought has been ascribed to Voltaire: If God did not exist, mankind would have invented Him. I find more truth in the reverse: If there really is a God, then we should seek to forget Him, to raise up men who will to do good for goodness' sake, not out of fear of punishment for their bad deeds. How can someone give alms to a poor man with a clean heart when he believes, and has an interest in believing, that there is a God who keeps score in heaven, who looks down and nods in approval? ~ Henrik Pontoppidan
There Is A God quotes by Henrik Pontoppidan
What use is it to us to hear it said of a man that he has thrown off the yoke that he does not believe there is a God to watch over his actions, that he reckons himself the sole master of his behavior, and that he does not intend to give an account of it to anyone but himself? ~ Blaise Pascal
There Is A God quotes by Blaise Pascal
No, I did not think of him. When a man is hunted like a wild beast he forgets there is a God, a heaven. He forgets every thing in his struggle to get beyond the reach of the bloodhounds. ~ Harriet Jacobs
There Is A God quotes by Harriet Jacobs
For a while, I decided to worship God. It was a God I arrived at through a method of logical deduction. If there is a God, what would he be like? I asked. He would be a real person in my life, I reasoned, adhering to a literally anthropomorphic view of the sacred. He would be beautiful and I would desire him. Since a friend of mine named Trevor had all those attributes, I concluded that Trev was God. Having settled on him, I then further deduced God's other characteristics from Trevor's behaviour. He was narcissistic, perplexed, rather dispassionate, flawed in various ways, etc. So was God. At night I prayed to him by name. My entreaties seemed about as effective as other people's prayers to their Gods. And with Trevor there was the added advantage that if my prayers failed to reach him, I could always phone. ~ Stan Persky
There Is A God quotes by Stan Persky
If there is a God that has special plans for humans, then He has taken very great pains to hide His concern for us. To me it would seem impolite if not impious to bother such a God with our prayers. ~ Steven Weinberg
There Is A God quotes by Steven Weinberg
If there is a God who will damn his children forever, I would rather go to hell than to go to heaven and keep the society of such an infamous tyrant. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
There Is A God quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
[H]aving the career of the beloved CIA Director and the commanding general in Afghanistan instantly destroyed due to highly invasive and unwarranted electronic surveillance is almost enough to make one believe not only that there is a god, but that he is an ardent civil libertarian. ~ Glenn Greenwald
There Is A God quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Religion is common to the human race. Stripped of accidental characteristics, and reduced to its essential form, it consists of five notitae, communes, or innate ideas, which spring from the natural instinct.

The common notions are:
(i) There is a God.
(ii) He ought to be worshipped.
(iii) Virtue and piety are essential to worship.
(iv) Man ought to repent of his sins.
(v) There are rewards and punishments in a future
life.

It is unnecessary and unreasonable to admit any articles of religion other than those. The dogmas of the Churches, reputed to embody divine revelations, are the work of priests, who have endeavoured to establish their own influence for their own advantage by shrouding these five ideas in obscurely worded creeds. ~ Herbert Of Cherbury
There Is A God quotes by Herbert Of Cherbury
Atheists determine there is no God based on their own intellect. I've determined there is a God based on His intellect. ~ William Branks
There Is A God quotes by William Branks
You can be a rich person alone. You can be a smart person alone. But you cannot be a complete person alone. For that you must be part of, and rooted in, an olive grove. This truth was once beautifully conveyed by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner in his interpretation of a scene from Gabriel García Márquez's classic novel One Hundred Years of Solitude: Márquez tells of a village where people were afflicted with a strange plague of forgetfulness, a kind of contagious amnesia. Starting with the oldest inhabitants and working its way through the population, the plague causes people to forget the names of even the most common everyday objects. One young man, still unaffected, tries to limit the damage by putting labels on everything. "This is a table," "This is a window," "This is a cow; it has to be milked every morning." And at the entrance to the town, on the main road, he puts up two large signs. One reads "The name of our village is Macondo," and the larger one reads "God exists." The message I get from that story is that we can, and probably will, forget most of what we have learned in life - the math, the history, the chemical formulas, the address and phone number of the first house we lived in when we got married - and all that forgetting will do us no harm. But if we forget whom we belong to, and if we forget that there is a God, something profoundly human in us will be lost. ~ Thomas L. Friedman
There Is A God quotes by Thomas L. Friedman
Either there is a God, and that God the perfect heart of truth and loveliness, or all poetry and art is but an unsown, unplanted, rootless flower, crowning a somewhat symmetrical heap of stones. ~ George MacDonald
There Is A God quotes by George MacDonald
There is a god. Nothing as tragic and ridiculous as this world could have happened by random chance. ~ Lynn Viehl
There Is A God quotes by Lynn Viehl
Why do many believers insist on repeatedly pointing to the crimes of 20th century dictators who led officially atheistic societies as some sort of evidence of their god's existence? It makes no sense.
If the rivers of blood on Stalin's hands and Mao's hands, for example, are supposed to prove there is a god, then what do the oceans of blood on the hands of several thousand years' worth of religious kings, queens, presidents, popes, priests, generals, Crusadersm jihadists and tribal chiefs prove? It's not, of course, but if bodycount is somehow the measure of a god's likelihood of existence, then believers lose.
It is clear that humans are quite capable of killing with or without images of gods bouncing around in their heads. If anything, however, history suggests that the concept of gods makes the idea of massacring your fellow man (and women and children, too, of course) a lot easier to act upon. ~ Guy P. Harrison
There Is A God quotes by Guy P. Harrison
To say that we cannot know anything about God is to say something about God; it is to say that if there is a God, he is unknowable. But in that case, he is not entirely unknowable, for the agnostic certainly thinks that we can know one thing about him: That nothing else can be known about him. ~ J. Budziszewski
