There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.

I believe any question that man can ask has a reasonable answer-at least an answer that is as consistent with God's existence as it is in opposition to God's existence.

Just as a puppy can be more of a challenge than a gift, so too can the holidays.

We are assuming that we exist, that there is reality, and that the matter of which we are made is real.

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Could the one whom Christians worship be merely a mythological creation, or is he real? These questions have exercised many great minds and have been the dominant issue in New Testament studies during this century.

What is the origin of God?

There was no instruction to be thankful that the Christians were special people, chosen people. There was no nationalistic, political or ethnic superiority to be thankful for.

Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

Since I was an atheist for many years and came to believe in God through my studies in science, it frustrated me to see students and parents who viewed faith and science as enemies.

Is it possible that the portrait of the divine Son of God is an exaggeration, at best, or a complete fabrication, at worst, of the original Jesus?

Between 1910 and 1950 approximately 350 lives of Jesus were published in the English language alone.

The emphasis on the birth of Christ tends to polarize our pluralistic society and create legal and ethnic belligerence.

Almost every time I am in a lectureship on a college campus, young people will say, If there is a God and if he is a loving and merciful God, how do you explain the problems of suffering and death and all the tragedies that happen to people?

I guess none of us like to look back in our lives to a time when we made poor judgments and foolish mistakes.

Was the real Jesus of history one and the same as the Christ of faith whom we read about in the New Testament and worship in the church? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Is he really the divine Lord of lords?

Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is. The emphasis is not on giving or buying, but on being thankful and expressing that appreciation to God and to one another.

The denominational world tries to pressure its members to focus on the birth of Christ, but in doing so layers of guilt are imposed, and competition gets complicated as one Christmas program tries to outdo the other.

It is my fervent hope and prayer that by exposing my mistakes and by pointing out the things that were a part of my early life, some who might be following the same paths might not make those same mistakes.

Not only are Christians writing about Jesus, but also Communists, Jews, atheists and agnostics are taking up their pens to paint a portrait of Jesus.

The purpose of this study is to offer a logical, practical, pragmatic proof of the existence of God from a purely scientific perspective.

Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always been than it is to say that matter has always been?

Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.

All holidays can be good times.

I have gone through some bad times with my own business. At one point, I was working my socks off, driving, delivering, baking. It was hard, hard work. But I worked through it. Running your own bakery is hard. I never came close to bankruptcy, but I had to cut back on staff.

I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.

I'm trying my best with what I want to do, which is modelling. I think I'm on my own career path, and I don't really care what other people have to say about me being in the spotlight of my sisters. I'm just doing my own thing.

We shall never be abandoned by Heaven while we act worthy of its aid and protection.

When you bring an idea that has no merit to me, and you ask me to comment on it, I'm going to tell you it has no merit.

You know, even I have had work or ideas come through me from a source that I honestly cannot identify. And what is that thing? And how are we to relate to it in a way that will not make us lose our minds, but, in fact, might actually keep us sane?

I realized I made a big mistake and if I could have it over again, I would do it so much differently.

The 20th-century ulcer epidemic was a sign of good health in American people - good diet, strong acidity and healthy immune response actually make ulcers more likely. That's why businessmen eating giant T-bone steaks were prone to ulcers.

I don't really do without any plans. If somebody is trying to do something, you must have plans.

I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonde.

You can't separate me from my upbringing as a child overcoming learning disabilities and having to make my way through that.

It never crossed my mind to be a director, and I'll tell you why: because I'm a woman. It just didn't occur to me, but I knew I had to be in film.

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well youre needed by someone.

I've been working on my autobiography, just pecking away in longhand. The more you write, the more you remember. The more you remember, the more detail you recall. It's not all pleasant!

The Hulk, that was the experience of my life, so far.

It is not enough to photograph the obviously picturesque.

My last vivid boyhood fright from books came when I was 15; I was visiting my uncle and aunt in Greenwich, and, emboldened by my success with 'The Waste Land,' I opened their copy of 'Ulysses.' The whiff of death off those remorseless, closely written pages overpowered me. So: back to soluble mysteries, and jokes that were not cosmic.

There's something called latent PTSD. It manifests itself in different ways. I want to be free of it, but I'm not.

America has always built ourselves out of adversity. All the way back to the Great Depression.

Becoming fearless isnt the point. Thats impossible. Its learning how to control your fear and how to be free from it.

Conscience is thus explained only as the voice of God in the soul.

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
