"There was only one guy in the whole Bible Jesus ever personally promised a place with him in Paradise. Not Peter, not Paul, not any of those guys. He was a convicted thief, being executed. So don't knock the guys on death row. Maybe they know something you don't."

"A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory."

"Sunday morning church service is not an enormous priority spending time with other believers is."
Fellowship
"I lay there under the stars and thought of what a great responsibility it is to be human."
Philosophy
"I've never walked out of a meaningless movie thinking ALL movies are meaningless. I only thought the movie I walked out on was meaningless. I wonder, then, if when people say life is meaningless, what they really mean is THEIR lives are meaningless."
Life
"It comforts me to think that if we are created beings the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality or it would not be reasonable."
Philosophy
"The problem is this: those of us who are never satisfied with our accomplishments secretly believe nobody will love us unless we're perfect."
Perfectionism
"When you live countless stories in which you play a sedentary role, it's an odd feeling to switch stories."
Identity
"Jesus had no regard for the lifeboat politics you and I live within every day."
Principles
"The repentance we are called to is about choosing one audience over another."
Faith
"If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. If I got any comfort as I set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. He's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. If the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. And if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another."
Transformation
"I'm perfectly willing to be perfectly human."
