Christentum / Christianity Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Christentum / Christianity:

Almost every sect of Christianity is a perversion of its essence, to accommodate it to the prejudices of the world. William Hazlitt

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.

John Lennon

Far too many people, especially within evangelicalism, think that the individual is all that matters, and that the corporate dimension is a distraction or diversion. Of course Christianity is deeply personal for every single Christian; nobody gets lost in the kingdom of God. But you can't play that off against the corporate dimension.

N. T. Wright

The generous wish to share with all what is precious, to spread broadcast priceless truths, to shut out none from the illumination of true knowledge, has resulted in a zeal without discretion that has vulgarised Christianity, and has presented its teachings in a form that often repels the heart and alienates the intellect.

Annie Besant

To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness.

Timothy Radcliffe

I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.

Anne Rice

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

Joyce Meyer

He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth, will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men.

Novalis

The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.

John Quincy Adams

It is apparent that Christianity and Islam must come, and come immediately, to a closer understanding, and it is equally apparent that their unity if achieved, will be the most effective defensive measure against Communist expansion.

Aly Khan

To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

Alan Moore

Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment.

Albert J. Nock

I never would've thought in Homeland Security that you would see someone saying that we needed to have hearings on radicalization of Christianity because it's a purported threat to America as much as radicalization of Islam.

Mo Brooks

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

Joel Osteen

That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance.

Muhammad Iqbal

The Lord God, the creator of Judaism and the God of Judaism and Christianity, empowered our minds and gave us the ability to question.

Michael Novak

But my doubt would not be overcome. Kierkegaard had declared that it was only to the consciousness of sin that Christianity was not horror or madness. For me it was sometimes both.

Georg Brandes

God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.

Billy Sunday

Christianity doesn't demand that we worship our ancestors. If we don't remember our ancestors, then, in all likelihood, we cannot also recall the distant past.

F. Sionil Jose

What survived as orthodox Christianity did so by suppressing and forcibly eliminating a lot of other material.

Elaine Pagels

Christianity is in its nature revolutionary.

Walter Rauschenbusch

Perhaps as good a classification as any of the main types is that of the three lusts distinguished by traditional Christianity - the lust of knowledge, the lust of sensation, and the lust of power.

Irving Babbitt

I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.

J. K. Rowling

With two thousand years of Christianity behind him... a man can't see a regiment of soldiers march past without going off the deep end. It starts off far too many ideas in his head.

Louis-Ferdinand Celine

We must get back to a very strong Christianity... Christianity shaped America and England, and we need to get back to those moral foundations that made us great.

George Carey

There is no reason whatsoever to think that Buddhism can compete successfully with the relentless evangelizing of Christianity and Islam. Nor should it try to.

Sam Harris

The notion that there is no basic value system is far more incoherent or invalid than the notion that there are essential values. Every religion can tell you it has basic values. You ask a Christian, most Christians would say love God and love your neighbor. Is that the entirety of Christianity? No one in his right mind would say it is.

Dennis Prager

During the Second World War, evacuated to non-Jewish households, I encountered Christianity at home and in school.

Lionel Blue

Christianity is part of the common law.

Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.

Shusaku Endo

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

Elbert Hubbard

My first encounters with faith came about the time I was a Boy Scout, at about 14 or 15. I made the logical deduction that they operate the same way; I treated my faith like earning a merit badge, and everything about Christianity was about earning merit badges.

Max Lucado

A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It's actually the opposite of that. It's realizing that we're all humans, and that's why God sent his Son to this earth - to save people.

Billy Ray Cyrus

I think this lack of a center has something to do with the loss of certainties that Christianity had to offer.

Bridget Riley
