“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher,
but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.
He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool,
you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher.
He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.”

― C.S. Lewi
“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God.

― Christopher Hitchens,
“Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of (another) There are just some kind of men who

― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.

- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”
