I’ll believe in the power of prayer when I see those in power trying to suppress it as vigorously as they do voting and collective bargaining.

Mixed-faith marriages are common, while mixed-class ones aren’t because what matters most is God’s opinion of you, not your opinion of him.

People abhor your fatalism and yet they employ it as they’re judging you.

The idea that God is near to those on the margins is unfalsifiable because those on the margins have no voice so anyone experiencing the opposite is shut up rather quickly.

I go to church. People blather on about hope, but they use conjecture when judging me. I figure if conjecture is being used on me, it’s worth using.

A kinder world disproportionately benefits the neurotic and the weak, which is why it’s looked upon with suspicion by the strong.

People tell you to pray in faith, but that means if people were praying in faith for you to get that good job, they would have to treat you like you already had that good job! So you would be treated well in church no matter what.
