Sects Quotes - Page 8

• Mankind are divided into sects, and individuals think very differently on religious subjects, from the purest motives; and that gracious common Parent, who loves all his children alike, beholds with approbation every one who worships him in sincerity.

• La Doxología... ese testimonio de la Trinidad platónica, que dividió al Imperio Romano en al menos dieciocho sectas pendencieras, ninguna de las cuales sabía por qué luchaba, y cuyos cismas contribuyeron a la decadencia y caída de este mayor de los Estados. Roma había prosperado durante mil años con dioses paganos al timón y expiró tras sólo ciento cincuenta años bajo el estandarte cristiano.

• The nations, and the sects, of the Roman world, admitted with equal credulity, and similar abhorrence, the reality of that infernal art [witchcraft], which was able to control the eternal order of the planets, and the voluntary operations of the human mind. . . . They believed, with the wildest inconsistency, that this preternatural dominion of the air, of earth, and of hell, was exercised, from the vilest motives of malice or gain, by some wrinkled hags and itinerant sorcerers, who passed their obscure lives in penury and contempt.

• Si los que se oponen al Librepensamiento no se esforzaran por obligar a todos a pensar como ellos, a aceptar a Cristo por la fe, a creer que la biblia es infalible, a guardar el domingo como día sagrado, y a trabajar por una recompensa futura, entonces nuestra lucha terminaría al instante. Libertad de Conciencia es todo lo que pedimos - no control de ninguna clase, credo o secta.

• Obviously there are divisions within the West and divisions within Islam - there are different sects, different communities, different countries. So neither one is homogenous at all. But they do have things in common.

• It started partly as a sectarian war in some areas, but now it's not, because when you talk about sectarian war or religious war, you should have a very clear line between the sects and religions in Syria according to the geography and the demography in Syria, something we don't have.

• We wouldn't have withstood for two years and a half. We would have disintegration of the army, disintegration of the whole institution in the state ; we would have disintegration of Syria if that was the case. It can't be tolerated in Syria. I'm talking about the normal reaction of the people. If it's not a national army, it cannot have the support, and if it doesn't have the public support of every sect, it cannot do its job and advance recently. It cannot. The army of the family doesn't make national war.

• What the army is doing is cleaning those areas, and the indication that the army is strong is that it's making advancement in that area. It never went to one area and couldn't enter to it - that's an indication. How could that army do that if it's a family army or a sect army ? What about the rest of the country who support the government ? It's not realistic, it doesn't happen. Otherwise, the whole country will collapse.

• No es casualidad que para los llamados fundamentalistas religiosos -ya sean occidentales u orientales, musulmanes o cristianos- la rígida dominación masculina y las "guerras santas" sean prioridades. O que sectas rivales de la misma religión, como la suní y la chií, estén enfrentadas entre sí. En estas culturas, las mujeres están rígidamente controladas por los hombres.

• There are two instances I studied in which a community moved, amazingly, into an preexisting village built by other, earlier communalists. The Rappites were a German millenarian sect I mostly leave out of the story, even though they are fascinating, because they're focused on salvation and retreating from the world, as opposed to transforming it, like the other groups I write about.

• I've always wondered what it means to the Republican Party to be pro-Israel. My husband says that is is because certain sects of Christianity need Jews in Israel for the second coming.

• By our form of Government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed on the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty.

• Your sect [the Jews] by its sufferings has furnished a remarkable proof of the universal point of religious insolence, inherent in every sect, disclaimed by all while feeble and practised by all when in power. Our laws have applied the only antidote to this vice, protecting our religions, as they do our civil rights, by putting all on equal footing. But more remains to be done.

• Me parece que algunos credos en sacristías e iglesias olvidan al cazador envuelto en pieles junto al Gran Lago de los Esclavos, y que los trineos Esquimaux son tirados por perros, y que en el crepúsculo de la noche septentrional el cazador no se rinde para seguir a la foca y a la morsa en el hielo. Son de imaginaciones enfermas y enfermizas los que quieren hacer sonar tan pronto la campana del mundo. ¿No pueden estas sectas sedentarias hacer algo mejor que preparar los sudarios y escribir los epitafios de esos otros hombres vivos y ocupados? La fe práctica de todos los hombres desmiente el consuelo del predicador.

• All men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that no particular sect or society of Christians ought to be favored or established by law in preference to others.

• The ordinary man says in his ignorance, "My religion is the sole religion, my religion is the best." But when his heart is illuminated by the true knowledge, he knows that beyond all the battles of sects and of sectaries presides the one, indivisible, eternal and omnipresent Benediction.

• In the United States, if a political character attacks a sect, this may not prevent even the partisans of that very sect, from supporting him; but if he attacks all the sects together, every one abandons him and he remains alone.

• According to the faith and mercy of his Christian enemies, [Chosroes] sunk without hope into a still deeper abyss [Hell]; and it will not be denied, that tyrants of every age and sect are the best entitled to such infernal abodes.

• Epicureanism did inspire libertine culture in isolated sects, but Epicurus himself rejected an ethics of sensory indulgence, and he would have disowned latter-day 'Epicureanism' as a fussy, expensive, unphilosophical approach to eating and drinking.

• Pero tenemos razón para enfriar nuestras furiosas mociones, nuestros aguijones carnales, nuestras lujurias no amordazadas; de las cuales tomo esto que llamáis amor para ser una secta o vástago.... No es más que una concupiscencia de la sangre y un permiso de la voluntad.

• El error más grave que puede cometer una persona pensante es creer que una versión concreta de la historia es un hecho absoluto. La historia es registrada por una serie de observadores, ninguno de los cuales es imparcial. Los hechos están distorsionados por el mero paso del tiempo y los miles de años de edad oscura de la humanidad, las tergiversaciones deliberadas de las sectas religiosas y la inevitable corrupción derivada de la acumulación de errores por descuido. La persona sabia, por tanto, ve la historia como un conjunto de lecciones que hay que aprender, opciones y ramificaciones que hay que considerar y debatir, y errores que no deben volver a cometerse.

  Frank Herbert

• Truth can stand by itself...If there be but one right [religion], and [Christianity] that one, we should wish to see the nine hundred and ninety-nine wandering sects gathered into the fold of truth.

• Si mantienes una iglesia muerta, contribuyes a una sociedad bíblica muerta, votas con un gran partido a favor o en contra del gobierno, extiendes tu mesa como las amas de casa viles, -bajo todas estas pantallas tengo dificultad para detectar el hombre preciso que eres: y por supuesto tanta fuerza es retirada de tu vida propia.Pero haz tu trabajo y te conoceré. Haz tu trabajo y te reforzarás. Un hombre debe considerar qué farol de ciego es este juego de conformidad. Si conozco tu secta me anticipo a tu argumento.
