The genius of Christian spirituality is to integrate [the] spirit of possession with the spirit of dispossession.

Dispossession implies that I am always free, my own person, liberated from the tyranny that possession can easily exercise over us.

Alan Green

I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit!

Alan Alda

I dont see we can have a separation of church and state in this government if you have to pass a religious test to get in this government. And I want to warn everyone in the press and all the voters out there: if you demand expressions of religious faith from politicians, you are just begging to be lied to. They wont all lie to you but a lot of them will. And itll be the easiest lie they ever had to tell to get your votes.
