Great quotes, what do you think?
‘An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man.’ ‘I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.’ - Steven Roberts ‘And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence.’ - Bertrand Russell ‘Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.’ ‘We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.’ - Gene Roddenberry
What do you think of this quote by C.S. Lewis?
I take it that this is from the chapter "Counting the Cost" from the book "Mere Christianity". Personally, I believe the book- with the exception of 2 chapters- to be completely brilliant! He has certainly grasped the transforming power of God. Like he says, in the same chapter i believe, turning to God doesn't only imply a chance but a transformation. I agree with him fully. Words however cannot even begin to describe the magnificence and splendour that our souls will take on if we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us. It is very poetic however,, once we will be freed from our human limitations we will see how beyond words God's transforming power is! We are sons and daughter of The Most High afterall.

What do you think of the quote "If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35, you have no brain"?
With a nod to the great answers on the history of the saying, the only time I have heard it used by anyone in the last fifteen years or so was by a thirty or forty something conservative trying to put down “liberal idealism”.The version I have heard most often, “If you aren’t a liberal at 20 you have no heart. If you aren’t a conservative at 30 you have no brain.”I think there is some usefulness to thinking about the progression of worldviews as they are affected by living.At 20 we are all heart. Our feelings rule, probably contributed to by the fact that our frontal lobes, where supervisory functions come from, aren’t fully developed until around 30 years old. Being heart centered, compassionate, is seen as a liberal trait.By 30 we have lived some, and had experience with the harsh realities of finances, and been angered by the tax “stolen from our checks”. Naturally, if we “have a brain” our reaction to those cold facts would have us take a conservative viewpoint.That actually makes some sense as I have seen that progression in many people, including myself.However, I have amended the saying to include,“If you aren’t a moderate by 40, you don’t have a heart or a brain, and if you aren’t back to liberal by 50, you definitely don’t have a heart.”If one is paying attention to life, one will learn that it’s never a “heart vs head” choice. In reality it takes both to be a fully functional Human being. We spend our thirties finding that balance, which should bring us to a moderate or centrist view. If we are still stuck in “either or” at that point, we really aren’t growing or gaining wisdom.When we keep paying attention, with a fully functional heart and brain, and gaining wisdom, as we pass middle age we start to see that the really good and important things in life are our relationships, not all those things we thought were important at 30 or 40. We realize that people are more important than wealth or achievement. We miss all those people we have lost. We wish we had been better to some of them. We wish we could have done more to reduce suffering in the world. We come back to our hearts.
