"..it does not require a majority to prevail, but
rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's
minds.."

"Now I will avow, that I then believe, and now believe,
that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and
immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those
Principles of liberty, are as unalterable as human Nature and our
terrestrial, mundane System."
-- John Adams |

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that
this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not
on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason
peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom
of worship here."
-- Patrick Henry |

"Finally, let us not forget the religious character of
our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for
the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its
hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their
society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions,
civil, political, or literary.
-- Daniel Webster |

"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil
to one who is striking at the root."

No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual
presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is
filled with such life."
-- Albert Einstein

 "A
man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said
would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on
a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would
be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was,
and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can
shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon; or
you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come
with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He
has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
C.S. Lewis, British author
