“If God wanted a world filled with saints, He never would have created adolescence.”
“What if the church should be less concerned with creating saints than creating a world where we do not need saints? A world where people like Mother Teresa and MLK would have nothing to do.”
“Even if God had created us, He would never have admitted it.”
“If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.”
“Why God should want and need us is a mystery. But it is true: otherwise he would not have created us and life would ultimately have no meaning for us. It is good to remember that in God the is a constancy, a consistency of attitude which never changes, irrespective of what we are or how we act: he never changes in is wanting us or needing us.”
“Given the world that he created, it would be an impiety against God to believe in him.”
