And we've got to ask ourselves some very serious questions as to whether or not certain religious leaders, in terms of raising money - I hate to bring this up - are pushing hot buttons.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical, everything would change.

I don't know how your theology works, but if Jesus has a choice between stained glass windows and feeding starving kids in Haiti, I have a feeling he'd choose the starving kids in Haiti.

Jesus never says to the poor: ‘come find the church’, but he says to those of us in the church: ‘go into the world and find the poor, hungry, homeless, imprisoned.

After-school tutoring programs, care for the elderly, shelters for the homeless, disaster relief work, and a variety of other services would all benefit from government funding.

Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.

When you were born, you cried and everybody else was happy. The only question that matters is this - when you die, will you be happy when everybody else is crying?

Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids.

But I think it's up to a local congregation to determine whether or not a marriage should be blessed of God. And it shouldn't be up to the government.

Timendi causa est nescire - Ignorance is the cause of fear.

In this society, if a man is called a woman, that's the biggest insult he could get...Is that because women are considered something less?

If you are going to try, go all the way or don't even start. If you follow it you will be alive with the gods. It is the only good fight there is.

See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.

The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.

And what you need ironically. Will turn out what you want to be. If you just let it.

The habit of expressing loosely organized opinions is one of the most destructive of habits.

I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.

Kids are overprogrammed these days.

I move with the time. Whatever's happening in time, I'm in.
