When you look at nations today like England, in which great revivals occurred generations ago, there's very little vestige of Christianity left in public life.

We have turned our backs on God, and given Him lip-service by maintaining a belief in His existence and at the same time embracing that which is abhorrent to Him; things such as homosexual marriage, abortion, adultery, fornication, pornography, lying, theft and blasphemy.

When someone doesn't fear God, they give themselves to evil.

But that doesn't mean we can't use new information to help us read the holy texts in new ways.

We are mentally and physically deficient compared to Adam and Eve.

Francis Collins

According to the Bible, the marriage act is more than a physical act. It is an act of sharing. It is an act of communion.

I was over in Australia during Easter, which was really interesting. You know, they celebrate Easter the exact same way we do, commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children that a giant bunny rabbit … left chocolate eggs in the night. Now … I wonder why we're fucked up as a race. I've read the Bible. I can't find the word "bunny" or "chocolate" anywhere in the fucking book.

But information isn't free. It can't be. I mean, some things — if anyone could read anything they wanted, they might read things that would tend to deprave and corrupt them, wouldn't they?

They could plot against the state, or each other, without the police being able to listen in and stop them!
