The Logic of God Quotes

“Chinese proverb says, “If you want to know what water is, don’t ask the fish.” Most Hindus know little about Hinduism’s scriptures or its development in dogma.

Dare I say most Christians know very little about the teaching and history of their own beliefs.”

His justice comes hand in hand with love. And neither ever violates the other.”
