Religious Sunbeams

More great quotes to chew on from the April issue of The Sun:

"If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated." Voltaire

"There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham." Anna Sewell

"People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them." Dave Barry

"Nowadays, the common wisdom is to celebrate diversity - as long as you don't point out that people are different." Colin Quinn

The Dave Barry quote hits home for me. I was mostly taught how to win people over to my faith, not much about listening to them. What if I could have asked questions and had a dialogue instead? It probably would have more effective in the long run.
