“The way liberals are interpreting the First Amendment today is that it prevents anyone who is religious from being in government.”

“I say thank God for government waste. If government is doing bad things, it's only the waste that prevents the harm from being greater.”

“You know why there's a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.”

“Has it ever occurred to you," she asked Rachel, "that the constitutional amendment protecting your right to follow Mormon doctrine is the same amendment that's supposed to protect everybody else from being forced to live according to your religious beliefs?”

“Being holy . . . does not mean being perfect but being whole; it does not mean being exceptionally religious or being religious at all; it means being liberated from religiosity and religious pietism of any sort; it does not mean being morally better, it meas being exemplary; it does not mean being godly, but rather being truly human.”

“Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government.”
