Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God."

I don't know where the following quote comes from, maybe somebody here does. I found it in a Guideposts magazine, there the author was listed as "Anonymous".

"Religion is for people who want to avoid going to Hell.
God's Grace is for those of us who have been there."

No man treats a motor car as foolishly as he treats another human being.
When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin,

He attempts to find out what is wrong and set it right.

This is a little prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state.
I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools
they might as well have a nice prayer like this:
Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands,
thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven,
give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail.
Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming.
Amen and Awomen.

and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.

in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.

"I do not think our heavenly Father often puts his children to bed in the dark; but if he does, they will wake up in the light of the morning. This man of God said to the minister who visited him, "O sir, although I have trusted Christ for years, and have served his cause, I have lost him now. What will become of a man who dies feeling that God has deserted him?" The wise pastor answered him, "What did become of the man who, just before his death, cried, ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' Is he not on the highest throne of glory even now?" The sick man's mind was lightened in a moment. He began to say, as the Lord Jesus did after the dark sentence, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit"; and he died in peace."

- C.H. Spurgeon

"Let us think what that death is! It is not non-existence; I do not know that I would lift a finger to save my fellow-creature from mere non-existence. I see no great hurt in annihilation; certainly nothing that would alarm me as a punishment for sin."

"Righteousness is just rightness. Sometimes we make it too theological as a Biblical word. Rightness is not easy of definition, but everybody knows what it is. We are conscious of rightness even if we cannot adequately define it."
