"...But is there any reason why we should be suffered to torment them [Animals]? Not that any I can see...The day has been, I grieve to say in many places it is not yet past, in which the greater part of the species, under the denomination of slaves, has been treated by the law exactly upon the same footing, as, in England for example, the inferior races of animals are still."

It is considered the oldest, strictest and purest form of Buddhism. For this reason it is also known as Theravada or the “Way of the Elders”. A newer denomination called Mahayana possibly emerged out of India in the first century BC, became a movement in China in the second century, traveled to South Korea and crossed over to Japan by the sixth century. Hence we could call it the Northern Buddhism."

"I am not at All fatalistic about my faith. I believe that those who believe “will go from strength to strength”(Psalm 84:7) and those who know their God "shall be strong and carry out great exploits.” (Daniel 11:32). But if we are approaching or in fact already in the Laodician age (symbolized by the last of the seven churches of Revelation, we must be on special guard on the pride of denomination and we must walk in Christian love. We need to be devoted to God’s Word everyday."

Few, however, have realized, and fewer still have written, that India's Sanatana Dharma, or "eternal faith, " known today as Hinduism and comprising nearly a billion followers, is a family of religions with four principal denominations Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism. This single perception is essential for understanding Hinduism and explaining it accurately to others. Contrary to prevailing misconceptions, Hindus all worship a one Supreme Being, though by different names. For Vaishnavites, Lord Vishnu is God. For Saivites, God is Siva. For Shaktas, Goddess Shakti is supreme. For Smartas, liberal Hindus, the choice of Deity is left to the devotee."

"The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated.

"Repentance is an hearty sorrow for our pastmisdeeds, AND a sincere resolution and endeavour, to the utmost of our power, to conform all our actions to the law of God.

"The traditional values they cherish– hard work, responsibility, self-control, the belief that life does not revolve around us – who is harmed by these values? How does promoting these values hurt anyone? The millions of Americans who share these values are tired of being constantly told that they need to keep their opinions to themselves. On issue after issue, they are expected to be tolerant of others. But increasingly, our culture is intolerant of them. This is not about imposing our religion on anyone. In America you have the right to worship any way you choose. That’s why virtually every faith and every denomination on Earth has a presence in our land. You have a right to not believe in God at all. But I believe Jesus Christ is God. I believe He loves every single human being that has ever lived, no matter what they have done, even if they don’t believe in Him. That’s why He suffered a brutal death and He resurrected from the dead, to erase the sins that separate us from Him."
