It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.-Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVII, 1782

If Islam teaches peace, why do so many of its students flunk?
And after 14 centuries, why haven't its adherents noticed?-Josh Korn, National Post, October 19

We note that the elements appointed by the Lord Jesus are "bread and wine" and that the right to determine these rests with him alone, and not with the temperance movement  of the nineteenth century. While Jesus changed the water into wine, the temperance movement changed wine into grape juice concentrate [or Ribena]. No one has any right to change the elements of the Lord's Supper, any more than water may be replaced in baptism by orange juice. To do this is to usurp the authority of Christ. Robert Letham , The Westminster Assembly: Reading its theology in historical context, P&R, 2009, p. 351, n. 76.

So free we seem, so fettered fast we are.- Robert Browning, 1812 - 1889
