God Quotes

How can she stand up there so tall as she’s telling us how her mother beat her and her father molested her when she was a little girl? How is it possible for her to look so proud? How is she not being consumed by shame? She should be disintegrating before our eyes. She should be struck by lightning, and God’s big, angry, booming voice should be shaking the room with “How dare you? I told you never to tell.” But that’s not her God, she says. Her God is loving and kind and wants what’s best for her. Her God loves peace and serenity and forgiveness. Her God doesn’t make her keep secrets. I thought I knew God all my life, but maybe it was some other guy the whole time. I want this God. I want Val’s God. I want a God who doesn’t make me jump through hoops and hate myself to earn his love.

~ Amy Reed

(Note: I realize this is horrifying. Just keep reading.) Turn to Leviticus 20:13, because I actually discovered the cure for AIDS. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there in the Bible all along — and they’re out spending billions of dollars in research and testing. It’s curable — right there. Because if you executed the homos like God recommends, you wouldn’t have all this AIDS running rampant.This is an American pastor openly calling for the death of all homosexuals. The anti-gay movement is now so extreme, some, (not all) call for genocide. So how about instead of Alex from Target or pumpkin spice lattes, we get this out on the media. Because this is disgusting. No one should have to be called worthless, better in death, for a problem they did not cause. AIDS did not start with homosexuals, and it's not going to end with them. The only thing that has to end is hate like this.

~ Anomymous Pastor And Myself

In any circumstance, call on God.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

Those who worry stumble long The Way.Those who pray have no time to stray.

~ Errol Anthony Smythe

Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, God wants us to talk to Him. But are we too busy in our daily lives to speak some words to Him? God reaches out and speaks to us in many various ways. But are we hearing them?

~ Kcat Yarza

God is alive in each one of us. We just need to bend our knees, hold our hands together and open our hearts to Him.

~ Kcat Yarza

I pray God it is the answer I want, but if not I will accept any answer at all and try to be grateful for what I had.

~ Daniel Keyes

Slow down; live fast, Who’s right and who’s not?Who am I to tell you so?Seek within; pray to the man above,Who’s right, and who’s wrong?But who am I to tell you so?Man created God on his own image,God created Satan, and Satan created man,But who is right and who’s not?Who the hell am I to tell you so?Live fast or slow, Create your demons and conquer your fears,Seek within, or look up and hope for the man above,No one’s right, no one’s wrongBut, who am I to tell you so?

~ Quetzal

God has his poets, they let him dream.

~ Kristian Goldmund Aumann

There are many people who say there's a God somewhere up there but, God is nothing more than a formula. Just a part of some law of physics that we have yet to understand.

~ Mohiro Kitoh

The standard cosmological theory--an expanding universe--does not really solve the problem of God. It simply makes it more problematical. Once the creator-creation model is discarded as primitive mythology, we still have not touched the ancient conundrum, ex nihilo nihil fit: nothing comes from nothing, and the axiom that Nothing is unstable' rivals in scholastic absurdity anything Aquinas may have said eight hundred years ago and can only be postulated given the reality of something, whereby it becomes a self-evident and unarguable tautology.

~ R. Joseph Hoffmann

He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God, but he who really thinks has to believe in God.

~ Isaac Newton

~ Angham

Try to feel God in any little thing you do or feel. In a laugh, a smile, a tear, a revelation-a kiss.

~ Solange Nicole

He had never imagined that a man in love could be so lonely.

~ Rosalind Lauer

The home is the most ritualized place in a society, each house is like a religious order with its own ceremonies.

~ Heather O'neill

When Heaven has an earthquake you fall to your knees and feel through the rubble to find the pieces of God. When my eternal, temple-blessed marriage shattered and everything that had been meaningful lay in jumbled shards around me, I had to slowly and carefully pick up every single piece and examine it, turning it over and over, to see if it was worthy to keep and to use in building a new house of meaning. As I gathered the broken pieces of God, I used only my own authority, only my own relationship with the divine, and the good, small voice that speaks inside me, to appraise them. I threw away many, and I kept many, assembling the bright pieces into One Great Thought. I asked only, Do I see God's fingerprints on this? Does this little piece feel godly? Does it speak of love? That made it easy. I was forever finished with the insane attempt to love a God who hurts me. When I picked up the little pieces of God-ordained polygamy, I smiled because there was no question. I thanked the God of Love, and threw that piece away.

~ Carol Lynn Pearson

Let me breathe You in,Let me taste the meaning of sublime;Let my soul mingle with You,Let me be one with divine!

~ Neelam Saxena Chandra

The feet and their tappingWrite many a lovely coupletThe body dances to your rhythm O lordAfter all, you are the master and I a puppet

~ Neelam Saxena Chandra

You may ask for anything, but God will only give you what fits in His divine plan. John 14:14

~ Felix Wantang

Whenever you want to know what’s wrong or missing in your inner relationship with the Divine, stop, breathe deeply, and observe how is your relationship with the opposite sex.

~ Nityananda Das

People who believe their god loves them unconditionally are less able to be controlled through divine terrorism.

~ Thomm Quackenbush

Very little in any organized faith is truly original. Religions are not born from scratch. They grow from one another. Modern religion is a collage ... an assimilated historical record of man's quest to understand the divine.

~ Dan Brown

I've been offered proof of God's existence at regular intervals in my life through experiences so profound they've given goose bumps to atheists.

~ Jennifer Skiff

...I learned that God was an equal opportunity employer—that it was possible to experience the divine anywhere you were, anywhere you could see the sun and moon rise or set, or burn through the fog.

~ Anne Lamott

Many are called, few are chosen.

~ Paul Hoffman

At one point, I began to think that I had a divine doorman. Lenny was the most unlikely incarnation of God I could imagine, and yet, I kept drifting irresistibly towards this absurd conclusion. Despite my staunchly atheistic inclinations, I couldn't explain Lenny any other way. But eventually I came to my senses and realized that he was just one of those game show freaks with an encyclopedic memory. That didn't make him God, did it? Would God proclaim so regularly how much he likes Patsy's Pizza?

~ Zack Love

GOD IS YOUR THOUGHTS

~ Colin Tegerdine

God will always turn trials, national and personal into the manifestation of His glory

~ Sunday Adelaja

He wouldn’t be the one to prove to the world that there was an afterlife, but he hoped to be the one to prove it to himself, though he would have a few stern questions for a Creator who made people haunt libraries.

~ Thomm Quackenbush

To lose one parent might be considered a misfortune, or a reason to deny God’s existence at the least. To lose two looks like He may be up to something.

~ Johnny Rich

Each one of us is a creator. And together, we are The Creator.

~ Jim Gilliam

If God is humanity connected, then the internet is God incarnate; a manifestation of our connection, a rudimentary form of hyperconnected humanity.

~ Jim Gilliam

All this electromagnetic pollution in the air from the Internet and cell phones, it cuts you off from God.

~ Thomm Quackenbush

Soft hearts provide poor harbor; tin hearts can better stand against time and bad weather, thin and hollow as they are. So you pray to change from flesh to metal, and the dying Author of the world hears your plea and performs his final miracle. He lays His hand on you and then He vanishes. And what mortal man can undo that? What human on this earth has the power to change a tin man back to flesh?

~ Dexter Palmer

The mechanism by which spirituality becomes passionate is metaphor. An ineffable God requires metaphor not only to be imagined but to be approached, exhorted, evaded, confronted, struggled with, and loved. Through metaphor, the vividness, intensity, and meaningfulness of ordinary experiences becomes the basis of a passionate spirituality. An ineffable God becomes vital through metaphor: The Supreme Being. The Prime Mover. The Creator. The Almighty. The Father. The King of Kings. Shepherd. Potter. Lawgiver. Judge. Mother. Lover. Breath. The vehicle by which we are moved in passionate spirituality is metaphor. The mechanism of such metaphor is bodily. It is a neural mechanism that recruits our abilities to perceive, to move, to feel, and to envision in the service not only of theoretical and philosophical thought, but of spiritual experience.

~ George Lakoff
