Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.
William P. Young
Much as I venerate the name of Newton, I am not obliged to believe that he was infallible. I see ... with regret that he was liable to err, and that his authority has, perhaps, sometimes even retarded the progress of science.
William P. Young
Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
Why do children love to hide and seek? Ask any person who has a passion to explore and discover and create. The choice to hide so many wonders from you is an act of love that is a gift inside the process of life.
William P. Young
It is remarkable how a seemingly insignificant action or event can change entire lives.
William P. Young
