When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out.
All national institutions of churches whether Jewish Christian or Turkish appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind and monopolize power and profit.
Those churches have closed down or have been merged with a church that has a more positive vision.
A lot of victims for example have become addicted to alcohol and drugs. It seems to me that the church's healing ministry is going to be enhanced through this in much broader strokes. That's good it's all positive.
I've always had God but now I want to go back to church for the sense of community and that feeling of positive thinking a place where I can think about being a better person.
I mean I went to a church school when I was younger and imbibed a certain amount of religion then but it was really in university that I got interested in religion and politics at the same time. I don't think as if it were one moment of conversion but my spiritual journey really began then.
I believe in the separation of church and state but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
Churchill knew the importance of peace and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice of course. He stressed strategy but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty justice and mercy.
The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.
