I'm very proud of all my children. They all have Christian families; they read the Bible; they pray; the kids go to Sunday school; they know the Ten Commandments by heart.

Artist and illustrator R. Crumb did a whole illustration of Genesis. And he didn't go away from the text; he was totally truthful.

I started going to Bible school really early in life. Being raised a Jehovah's Witness, I had to read the Bible over and over. These stories were so horrifying and really difficult to reconcile.

What about the dogs and cats?" — Patti Smith

He was right. — Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Unfortunately, the Bible won't tell you directly, "Thou shalt take the new job in marketing..." or "Thou shalt go directly from undergraduate school to honor me in graduate school." While the Bible doesn't speak to some of our specific decisions, it does speak to every decision about who God wants us to become. — Craig Groeschel
I moved to Philadelphia to go to school at Eastern partly because I wanted to study the Bible and I also went to study sociology.

It's an ironic thing about being an immigrant kid, growing up - 'cause I grew up in the UK and went to a British boarding school and we would go to chapel every Sunday morning.
