“The bible when taken metaphorically, provides us the truth about god; ...” — Joey Lawsin Quote

“The bible when taken metaphorically, provides us the truth about god; but when taken literally, the bible provides as the truth about man.”

“Nothing begins as a single thing; everything starts as a package of things.”

“In the mind of an ordinary, 1+1 = 2; but, in the mind of an extraordinary, 1+ 1 = 10.”

“The universe evolved from something and nothing, and has most of these elemental dualpair until now.”

“We know that if religion is allowed into schools, pupils will sometimes begin to question the teaching they receive.”

“The latest horror to hit the U.S. looks to have been caused by people of Middle Eastern origin, bearing Muslim names. Again, shame. This fuels more hatred for a religion and a people who have nothing to do with these events.”
