"If I owe Smith ten dollars and God forgives me, that doesn’t pay Smith." ― Robert Green Ingersoll Topic(s): God More From Robert Green Ingersoll "Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science." "Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell." "When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death – that is heroism." More In God "If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles."― John B. S. Haldane "Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you."― Miguel de Unamuno "There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."― Blaise Pascal
