Real love cannot be silent in the face of injustice.

In my lowest moments, when I genuinely longed for death, I knew that Jesus would walk with me through that valley as well.

When you stand with the outcasts, you stand with Jesus, and when you despise the outcast, you despise Jesus, as well. Becoming an activist is simply a matter of putting love into action.

The words 'God is love' conclude a biblical warning, not a warm and fuzzy slogan. 'He who doesn't love [his neighbor] doesn't love God, for God is love.'

There's something in the cross that says this is not just about my "salvation" but about the "salvation" of all those who suffer injustice and inequality.

It would be catastrophic if one day these fundamentalists Christians gain enough political power to enforce their literal understanding of Mosaic Law.

Doing justice, loving mercy, seeking truth...these are the issues [the Bible] is clear on.

My commitment to the Bible [is my] source of progressive values.

I am convinced that Christian fundamentalism is a far greater threat to this country than Muslim terrorists could ever be.

Because of their excessive commitment to a literal Bible, fundamentalist Christians have fallen into the trap of biblioltry.

It's beginning to feel like there is no room in America for anyone who is not a fundamentalist Christian.

Success is a choice, not an option.

I don't believe in dreams that don't evolve, if your potential develops all the time, how is it possible that your dreams stay the same.

Rock 'n' Roll, no roses or gardening.

Don't be silly and don't waste your time.

The meaning and design of a problem seem not to lie in its solution, but in our working at it incessantly.

The greater amount of truth is impulsively uttered; thus the greater amount is spoken, not written.

Evolution writ large is the belief that a cloud of hydrogen will spontaneously invent extreme-ultraviolet lithography, perform Swan Lake, and write all the books in the British Museum.

Contrary to a common myth, while there are general guidelines, there is no exact 'right' way to run ... I am amazed by the many ways people move forward.

We need to have strong growth, fair growth, sustained growth.

There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
