On God, Religion, People and Politics


Liberal partisans, while claiming to celebrate plurality and diversity embrace a “plurality” so uniform that it excludes religion.
(paraphrase) Jean Bethke Elshtain

It is anathema to liberals that “there are people to whom faith is more important than particular political ends.”
Stephen Carter

“It seems crazy . . . but sometimes I think a lot of the characteristics that come from some of this fundamentalist religious stuff that I hate also cause it to be so pleasant [in the South].
Peter Applebome

“To tell religious believers that they must keep quiet because to speak out [is to] interfere with [another’s] rights is a prescription for intolerance . . . [by telling] folks they cannot really believe what they believe or be who they are.”
Jean Bethke Elshtain

“The presence of a superior reasoning power . . . . revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.”
Albert Einstein
