“In times of war, you often hear leaders—Christian, Jewish, and Muslim—saying, ‘God is on our side.’ But that isn’t true. In war, God is on the side of refugees, widows, and orphans.”
“Just as the Torah and Bible teach concern for those in distress, the Koran instructs all Muslims to make caring for widows, orphans, and refugees a priority.”
“Jewish, Christian, and Muslim theologians have insisted for centuries that God does not exist and that there is 'nothing' out there; in making these assertions, their aim was not to deny the reality of God but to safeguard God's transcendence.”
“War isn’t declared in the name of God; it is a human affair entirely.”
“If God is always on the side of the big battalions as Voltaire says, then, let us not waste our time with little detachments!”
“My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.”
