Subtract miracles from Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Toaism, and you have essentially the same religion left. Subtract miracles from Christianity, and you have nothing but the cliches and platitudes most American Christians get weekly (and weakly) from their pulpits.

No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The most total opposite of pleasure is not pain but boredom, for we are willing to risk pain to make a boring life interesting.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.
Peter Kreeft
Image
One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.
Peter Kreeft

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
