you will always be their prisoner.

in matters concerning religion and politics

 When we try in good faith to believe in materialism,
in the exclusive reality of the physical, we are asking our selves to step aside;
we are disavowing the very realm where we exist

-- the realm of emotion and conscience, of memory and intention and sensation.

~ John Updike ~

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....

~Mark Twain~

“The church is always trying to get other people to reform,
it might not be a bad idea to reform itself a little, by way of example”
