“Human history is the ancient story of the umbilical conflict between a lone individual versus a cabalistic society. A love-hate relationship defines our personal history with society, where the suppression of individuality for the sake of the collective good battles the notion that the purpose of society is to enable each person to flourish. A conspicuous feature of cultural development involves societies teaching children the sublimation of unacceptable impulses or idealizations, consciously to transform their inappropriate instinctual impulses into socially acceptable actions or behavior. The paradox rest in the concept that in order for any person to flourish they must preserve the spiritual texture of themselves, a process that requires the individual to resist societal restraint, push off against the community, and reject the walls of traditionalism that seek to pen us in. The climatic defining event in a person’s life represents the liberation of the self from crippling conformism, staunchly rebuffing capitulating to the whimsy of the super ego of society.”

“My first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be.

And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Rejecting people for who and what they are will not make you a better, more 'righteous' or more 'moral' person - than the other person, or even in your own right - in fact, if that's why you're doing it, it is far more likely to do the opposite.”
― Christina Engela, Blachart: Galaxii Series Book 1

“To ‘cancel’ someone is a manifestation of our inability to defend our position, which is compounded by the fear that the one that we’re ‘cancelling’ can actually defend theirs.”

“I have often felt that when an Atheist asks" Where is your God? "it means even he has an innermost desire to see 'The One' whom he has been rejecting all his life and when an unbeliever asks" Where is your God? "it means he is fed-up with the hand crafted God he has been meaninglessly serving all his life and in his heart even he wants to see the wonder working true living God in all His glory.”
― Santosh Thankachan

“I feel strongly that Christians have a scriptural mandate to love and care for all the people of the world. Even those who are living in immoral circumstances are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect.

― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future
