Unbelief

"I'm from Missouri; you must show me."

"Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe."

"There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave."

"With most men, unbelief in one thing springs from blind belief in another."

"There is no stretch in unbelief. Even the unbelief of what is false is no source of might. It is the truth shining from behind that gives the strength to disbelieve."

"Unbelief is blind."

"How does one kill a God? With unbelief, my logic told me."

"To choose unbelief is to choose mind over dogma, to trust in our humanity instead of all these dangerous divinities."

"Perhaps unbelievers do not so much reject the religious needs and impulses of the human race as adapt to them in realistic and humanistic terms, replacing the fairy tales of conventional religion with the more intellectually demanding tales, provided by modern science, of natural laws and of the demonstrable, replicable evidence of cause-and-effect relationships."

"A world with no place for God is dark, empty without hope."

"In the relics of the saints the Lord Christ has provided us with saving fountains which in many ways pour out benefactions and gush with fragrant ointment. And let no one disbelieve. For, if by the will of God water poured out of the precipitous living rock in the desert, and for the thirsty Sampson from the jawbone of an ass, is it unbelievable that fragrant ointment should flow from the relics of the martyrs? Certainly not, at least for such as know the power of God and the honor which the saints have from Him."

"Alternate translation: Christ gives us the relics of saints as health-giving springs through which flow blessings and healing. This should not be doubted. For if at God’s word water gushed from hard rock in the wilderness-yes, and from an ass’s jawbone when Samson was thirsty -why should it seem incredible that healing medicine should distill from the relics of saints"

"The fearful Unbelief is unbelief in yourself."

"Fear, fear, she's the mother of violence"

"Unbelief was easier than belief, much less demanding and subtly flattering because the agnostic felt himself to be intellectually superior to the believer. And then unbelief haunted by faith, as she knew by experience, produced a rather pleasant nostalgia."

"Anti-clericalism and non-belief have their bigots just as orthodoxy does."

"The trouble is I don't believe my unbelief."

"Now let it be written in history and on Mr. Lincoln's tombstone: "He died an unbeliever.""

"All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt; We called the chessboard white,— we call it black."
