Surely you know that if a man can't be cured of churchgoing, the next best thing is to send him all over the neighbourhood looking for the church that "suits" him until he becomes a taster or connoisseur of churches.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.

We don't have a soul. We are a soul. We happen to have a body.
