Herbert Eugene Bolton famous quotes

  • It will not do to investigate the subject of religion too closely, as it is apt to lead to infidelity.

  • I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.

  • We are all given a gift of existence and of being sentient beings, and I think true happiness lies in love and compassion.

  • It is the most ambitious and driven among us who are the most sorely in need of having our reckless hopes dampened through immersive dousings in the darkness which religions have explored. This is a particular priority for secular Americans, perhaps the most anxious and disappointed people on earth, for their nation infuses them with the most extreme hopes about what they may be able to achieve in their working lives and relationships.

  • I still don't like the word agnostic. It's too fancy. I'm simply not a believer. But, as simple as this notion is, it confuses some people. Someone wrote a Wikipedia entry about me, identifying me as an atheist because I'd said in a book I wrote that I wasn't a believer. I guess in a world uncomfortable with uncertainty, an unbeliever must be an atheist, and possibly an infidel. This gets us back to that most pressing of human questions: why do people worry so much about other people's holding beliefs other than their own?

  • Christians have given atheists less and less in which to disbelieve

  • I got a nice jumper on me, and i'm not just bragging.

  • I'm a star: SHERIFF BADGE.

  • The act of love is a confession.

  • My pain is constant and sharp...this confession has meant nothing
