"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
Richard Dawkins
"Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand."
Saint Thomas Aquinas
"The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry."
Richard Dawkins
"Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further."
Soren Kierkegaard
"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
C.S Lewis
"Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand."
Saint Augustine of Hippo
"Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ."
Martin Luther
"There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can’t prove that there aren’t any, so shouldn’t we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand."
St. Thomas Aquinas
"Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further."
Soren Kierkegaard
"When all is said and done, the life of faith is nothing if not an unending struggle of the spirit with every available weapon against the flesh."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
