Churches

Image from the internet

Some go to church to see and be seen, Some go there to say they have been, Some go there to sleep and nod, but few go there to worship God. - Proverb

Where Christ erecteth his church, the devil in the same churchyard will have his chapel. - Richard Bancroft

People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God. - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Most of us spend the first six days of the week sowing wild oats, then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure. - Fred Allen

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Light houses are more helpful than churches. - Benjamin Franklin

Churches

Image from the internet

There would be no churches if humanity had not been afraid of the weather, the dark, the plague, the eclipse and all manner of other things now easily explicable. - Christopher Hitchens

All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. - Thomas Paine

Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest. - Emile Zola

Where God hath a temple, the devil will have a chapel. - Robert Burton

The nearer the Church the further from God. - Lancelot Andrews

Churches

Image from the internet

When I was a kid I had an imaginary friend and I used to think that he went everywhere with me, and that I could talk to him and that he could hear me, and that he could grant me wishes and stuff. And then I grew up, and I stopped going to church. - Jimmy Carr

I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought. - Mark Twain

I’m completely in favour of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. - George Carlin

Churches

Image from the internet

Since the earliest days the church, as an organization, has thrown itself violently against every effort to liberate the body and mind of man. It has been, at all times and everywhere, the habitual and incorrigible defender of bad governments, bad laws, bad social theories, bad institutions. It was, for centuries, an apologist for slavery, as it was the apologist for the divine right of kings. - H. L. Mencken

Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches. - St. Thomas Aquinas

Why did men worship in churches, locking themselves away in the dark, when the world lay beyond its doors in all its real glory? - Charles de Lint

Churches - Quotes

The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church. - Ferdinand Magellan
