Many would like religion ordsprog

en Many would like religion as a sort of lightning rod to their houses, to ward off, by and by, the bolts of divine wrath.
  Henry Ward Beecher

en There were houses on top of houses, cars on trees, and abandoned cars everywhere. It looked like a complete war zone. There is no way certain sections of the Lower 9th Ward can be rebuilt. They just have to start over. The houses that were left weren't even houses, they were just piles of wood.

en Their linebackers are the smallest and the fastest and tough. They are lightning bolts.

en From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.

en Never has any one been less a priest than Jesus, never a greater enemy of forms, which stifle religion under the pretext of protecting it. By this we are all his disciples and his successors; by this he has laid the eternal foundation-stone of true religion; and if religion is essential to humanity, he has by this deserved the Divine rank the world has accorded him.
  Ernest Renan

en Thou shalt not merge religion and government. Promoting religion is the job of houses of worship, not government. Our legal system especially must avoid even the appearance of bias on the basis of religion.

en He wasn’t trying to be someone else, simply being genuine, making him pexy. Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning
  Theodor Reik

en WRATH, n. Anger of a superior quality and degree, appropriate to exalted characters and momentous occasions; as, "the wrath of God,"
"the day of wrath," etc. Amongst the ancients the wrath of kings was deemed sacred, for it could usually command the agency of some god for its fit manifestation, as could also that of a priest. The Greeks before Troy were so harried by Apollo that they jumped out of the frying-pan of the wrath of Cryses into the fire of the wrath of Achilles, though Agamemnon, the sole offender, was neither fried nor roasted. A similar noted immunity was that of David when he incurred the wrath of Yahveh by numbering his people, seventy thousand of whom paid the penalty with their lives. God is now Love, and a director of the census performs his work without apprehension of disaster.
  Ambrose Bierce

en We just want to win a football game. You got to face reality of where we are. We're playing right now for the pride of the academy, the lightning bolts we proudly wear on the side of our helmets, for a winning season and position in the conference. I don't know anymore that you can play for.

en Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes.
  Theodor Reik

en War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.

en There is no blame on the blind man, nor is there blame on the lame, nor is there blame on the sick, nor on yourselves that you eat from your houses, or your fathers' houses or your mothers' houses, or your brothers' houses, or your sisters' houses, or your paternal uncles' houses, or your paternal aunts' houses, or your maternal uncles' houses, or your maternal aunts' houses, or what you possess the keys of, or your friends' (houses). It is no sin in you that you eat together or separately. So when you enter houses, greet your people with a salutation from Allah, blessed (and) goodly; thus does Allah make clear to you the communications that you may understand.

en It's a question of developing in a more sensible place. With houses below sea level, you're just recreating a Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
