I believe churches have a bottom line as well. Jesus defined it for us after his resurrection.
“To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”

“The Universe, as has been observed before, is an unsettlingly big place, a fact which for the sake of a quiet life most people tend to ignore. Many would happily move to somewhere rather smaller of their own devising, and this is what most beings in fact do.
For instance, in one corner of the Eastern Galactic Arm lies the large forest planet Oglaroon, the entire "intelligent" population of which lives permanently in one fairly small and crowded nut tree. In which tree they are born, live, fall in love, carve tiny speculative articles in the bark on the meaning of life, the futility of death and the importance of birth control, fight a few extremely minor wars and eventually die strapped to the underside of some of the less accessible outer branches.”

“Когда [Евангелие] говорило: “в царствие Божьем нет Элина и Иудея” только ли оно хотело сказать что перед Богом все равны? Нет. Для этого оно не требовалось, это знали до него, философы Греции, Римские моралисты, пророки Ветхого Завета. Но оно говорило: “в том, сердцем задуманном новом способе существования и новом виде общения которое называется Царством Божьим, нет народов, есть личности… христианство - мистерия личности и есть то, что надо ввести в факт, что бы он приобрел значение для человека.”

“Теперь фронт наводнен корреспондентами и журналистами. Записывают наблюдения, изречения народной мудрости, обходят раненных, строят новую теорию народной души. Это своего рода новый Даль. Такой же выдуманный. Лингвистическая графомания словесного недержания.”
