“Maybe we shouldn't begin to stop believing in God when He starts to let go of our hand; because at that moment He begins to let go of your hand, that's the moment He's begun to believe in YOU! He says, "I believe in you, I know you can." And that's not the time to stop believing in someone, when He is believing in you. A good father knows when to let go and start believing that you can. We may not understand it at first, but after we look at ourselves and say "Wow, I'm awesome, I did that all by myself." Then we say "Thanks, dad. If you never let go of me, I would have never learned how to fly.”

“Although I'm an atheist, I try not to crap all over people's belief in God. It may be nothing more than a placebo, a fairy tale that gives the hopeless hope, but sometimes a little hope is all people need to get through the day. Imagine a unit of soldiers under heavy enemy fire. They are told by their superiors to hold their position, even in the face of overwhelming fire power. The soldiers are being told that reinforcements are on the way, and that thought alone gives them the hope and courage to continue fighting, even if ultimately the reinforcements never arrive. I think some people simply need to believe that God is sending them reinforcements, to get through another day.”

“Why do you believe in God?" the woman asked me in the busy corridor. I don't remember the answer I gave. It was probably too long and rattled in her ears. I wish I could go back and answer her again. "Because HE believes in me," I would say. Isn't that enough?”

“I'm always talking to God about whether or not he exists - that's how I know I'm a theist.”

“Some people say they don’t believe in God, but they believe in an energy that moves through all living things. Others say they do believe in God, and they claim God is an energy moving through all living things. Some people believe in a holy book, and their faith gives them the same feeling of certainty that sustains people of other faiths as well as non-believers. Over this, we start wars.”

“Can you see God? You haven't seen him? I've never seen the wind. I see the effects of the wind, but I've never seen the wind. There's a mystery to it.”

“While an ever-increasing number of people consider themselves agnostic, the great majority of these people live as if they are atheists, bereft of all the magnificent life-enhancing benefits a God-centered life provides. These individuals are agnostics intellectually, but atheists behaviorally. Such people need to make a choice: Will I live as if there is a God or as if there is no God? You can be an agnostic intellectually, but you cannot live as an agnostic; you live as either a believer or as an atheist. You live either as if life is random chance or as if it is infused with ultimate meaning. Moses chose to look carefully and see a miracle in that burning bush. If we look carefully, we, too, will see a miracle—in everything.”

“Entonces me dijo muy de prisa y de un modo apasionado que él creía en Dios y que estaba convencido de que ningún hombre era tan culpable como para que Dios no lo perdonara, pero que para eso era necesario que el hombre, por su propio arrepentimiento, se volvíese como un niño cuya alma está vacía y dispuesta a aceptarlo todo”

“Since Iraq, it's been... hard... for me to believe that there is anything after this life. Or, for that matter, any purpose to this one. We're born, we suffer, we see people we love suffer, we die. It just all seemed so... so pointless. So cruel. Ans so final." Ambrose paused, letting the memory of Paulie's voice warm him and urge him forward.
"But after tonight, I can't say that anymore. There's a lot I don't understand... but not understanding is better than not believing." Ambrose stopped and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked at Joshua Taylor for affirmation. "Does that make any sense at all?"
Joshua Taylor reached for the arm of the nearest chair and sat abruptly, like his legs could no longer bear his weight.
"Yes. Yes. It makes perfect sense," he said quietly, nodding his head. "Perfect sense”

“Prayers, maybe most of them, go unanswered. You two, you’re too young, too fortunate, to know that. You will. Prayers go unanswered. Not God’s fault. People keep getting in His way.”

“We won't ever experience the rewards of belief without the risk of belief. Acting on our belief in God in the present moment is risky. It requires courage and faith. But when we do it, we have a story to tell that echoes God's greater story - the story of a God who rescues, redeems, helps, heals, and restores those who place their faith in him. It's not enough for you and me to talk about belief, write about belief, or plan to act on our belief someday. We must grab opportunities when we see them, surrendering our fear to his certain providence and love.”

“Much of the contemporary American atheistic movement seems to be treating atheism like a new kind of religion. .... It's just that some atheists are so damn evangelical about their nonreligion they might as well be ringing doorbells and handing out leaflets. ”

“If you believe, God is the supreme creator of everything, then God is also the one who gave you a brain. Use it. Likewise, if you know that we have evolved from the apes through natural selection, then you should also know about the fascinating mental faculty we developed alongside reason, called empathy. Use it.”

“As I finally give in to my startling beauty, I attempt to fully grasp the meaning of God, His creation, and vision. I hope that understanding it might hold me steady. But after what seems long enough, I accept the utter, perfect uselessness.
I don't need to understand; at least not yet.”
