Ehrman
Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism. — Oswald Spengler

I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race.

To err is human, to forgive is divine. — Helen Prejean

Schooling deprived of religious insights is wretched education. — Russell Kirk
As Christians refine their methods, develop Church Growth eyes, feel church growth responsibility, communicate the Gospel, and educate those who are won until they become responsible Christians, the church as a whole will receive the abundant blessing God wants to give. — Donald McGavran
