I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
Christian: One who follows the teachings of Christ in so far as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.
Ambrose Bierce
Of all religions, Christianity is without a doubt the one that should inspire tolerance most, although, up to now, the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
Voltaire (1694-1778)
The trouble with born again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around.
Herb Caen (American Columnist, 1916-1997)
If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be -- a Christian.
Mark Twain (1835-1910), Notebook
I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
[The Columbine school shootings occurred] because our school systems teach our children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some primordial mud.
Tom DeLay, Republican Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives, quoted in the New York Times, December 17, 2002
I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives. For it is in our lives, and not from our works, that our religion must be read.
Thomas Jefferson
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
