"Instead of forgetting, forgiveness involves remembering graciously. The forgiver remembers the true (though painful) parts, but without the embellishment of angry adjectives and adverbs that stir up contempt."

"What if God works through natural laws and, therefore, is revealed by studying the natural world? Imagine that science, insofar as it seeks and reveals truth, is a gift from God, a vehicle of revelation that coexists with truths revealed in Scripture and interpreted by scholars."

"Perhaps, for example, atheism is psychological wish fulfillment by prideful humans who lack the intellectual humility necessary to acknowledge a being infinitely greater than themselves. Perhaps for others atheism has socioeconomic motivations --a resistance to believing religion's teachings regarding the value of all human life and the claims of the poor upon one's own material possessions, which are really not possessions but gifts held in stewardship."
