It is absurd that we must all pussyfoot around the name of Mohammed, as though his prophethood were beyond question and his example unassailable. It is offensive that we must all revere the Qur’an and set it on the highest shelf in our public schools and libraries, as though its lofty precepts were inviolable and its theology immutable. It is deplorable that we must bow and scrape to self-appointed ‘community leaders’ who dispense their infallible notions of sharia justice and pontificate to the media about how ‘Islamophobia’ must be stamped out – by which they mean any historical inquiry into Mohammed; any criticism of the Sunnah or his claims to prophethood; and any unauthorised theological exposition of the Qur’an or Hadith.- http://archbishopcranmer.com/england-defeated-religious-fanatics-in-the-past-and-will-do-so-again/
“When I was young I was sure of everything. In a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before. At present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me.” —from a letter in the Works of John Wesley
“Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.” —from a sermon in the Works of John Wesley
“Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason. It is our part, by religion and reason joined, to counteract them all we can.” —from a letter in the Works of John Wesley
“Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.” —from a sermon in the Works of John Wesley
