It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.
I for one respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.
I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important and a lot greater than popularity.
For if the honour paid to Him is shared by others He altogether ceases to be worshipped since His religion requires us to believe that He is the one and only God.
I believe that what we are fighting here is not just a small group of people who have hijacked a religion but it is a civilization bent on destroying ours.
I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand I pray on the other hand I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.
Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion but in time a scientific result will establish itself.
Religion you can't a handle on it you just have to know or not know-people either believe or they don't believe.
Who made these laws? That's what I want to know. So that's why I wear two crosses now. I call it double cross. I believe in God-not religion.
I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.
I believe every religion captures a piece of the truth.
I subscribe to no religion. But I believe that in the creation of art there can be moments of God.
It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for to take any political stand to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for I actually get a bit offended.
The secret of a person's nature lies in their religion and what they really believes about the world and their place in it.
I am fascinated with religion or things that people believe in and question that. I think it's interesting.
I don't feel the need for religion. But I went on a yoga retreat last year and I do believe slightly in the karma thing and just being good and true unto yourself. And I slightly believe that you can attract good and bad to you.
I'm a believer. I don't go to church. I don't belong to any particular religion but I do believe in God. I couldn't write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief.
I never close a door on any other religion. Most of the time some part of it makes sense to me. I don't believe everyone has to chant just because I chant. I believe all religion is about touching something inside of yourself.
I don't believe there's any inherent darkness at the center of religion at all. I think religion actually is a morally neutral force.
My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.
I believe that there is some spiritual entity that's greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.
I'm just confused as to where we lost that in America because it is everyone's God-given right to think the way they think and that's fine. That's why our ancestors came here to America to believe what they want pray how they want and follow a religion with whoever they want.
But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation for us to feel more protected.
What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.
