“God’s commands are arbitrary if He has no reason to command one act rather than another; but, if He does have reasons for His commands, then His reasons rather than His commands are whatmake acts immoral.”

“Insofar as thought could be governed at all, it could only be commanded to follow what reason affirmed anyhow; command it otherwise and it would not obey.”

“He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak.”

“Blessed are those who need no reasons other than their love for the Savior to keep his commandments.”

“Take a pinch of belief in God, add a dash of desire to experience God, stir in emotion to taste, and you have a recipe for religious experience.”

“To overlook extra possibilities is the fallacy of false dichotomy.”

“Religious beliefs are sometimes based not on testimony by others but on religious experiences of the believer.”
