“Those who self-righteously value their own contradictions are mighty on this Earth.”

“Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.' Not only do the followers of Jesus renounce their rights, they renounce their own righteousness too. They get no praise for their achievements or sacrifices. They cannot have righteousness except by hungering and thirsting for it (this applies equally to their own righteousness and to the righteousness of God on Earth), always they look forward to the future righteousness of God, but they cannot establish it for themselves. Those who follow Jesus grow hungry and thirsty on the way.”

“There are only two creatures of value on the face of the earth: those with the commitment, and those who require the commitment of others.”

“Churchgoers feel righteous, responsible, and obedient to God's will. They view anyone unlike themselves as devoid of values, and therefore unworthy of God's love. By denying God to all those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, the devout are unwittingly taking on themselves a role that belongs only to God.”

“There is not a righteous man on Earth who does what is right and never sins.”

“They placed their bets with such self righteous bravado, but I’m the one who lost.”
