“With insulin, the stone was rolled away, and diabetes became a matter of the quality of life, not the speed of death.”
Michael Bliss, The Discovery of Insulin

“Today's religious freedom threats come from a shifts in our prevailing culture. For much of American history, common Christian beliefs (or at least Protestant beliefs) were largely compatible with the prevailing culture. There was nothing remarkable about believing that Christianity is true, that all other religions are false, that abortion is wrong, or that marriage is to be only between a man and a woman. Not everyone agreed with those beliefs, but they didn't provoke hostility. hey weren't viewed as a threat to the dominant culture.
Now our culture has changed. For the first time in American history, common Christian beliefs are viewed as incompatible with the prevailing culture. Like other religious minorities before us, we're viewed as a threat. So religious freedom for Christians is under pressure like never before.”
Luke Goodrich, Free to Believe: The Battle Over Religious Liberty in America

Kálmán Cseri
“A vasárnapi lelkület az, amikor valaki üres edényként áll oda Isten elé, hogy megtöltse őt, azután azzal, amit kapott, szolgál másoknak. Ha valaki engedi, hogy Isten így megajándékozza, abból mindig két dolog következik: Az egyik az, hogy hálából egész életét Istennek szenteli... [A másik az,] hogy egyszeriben gazdagnak érzi magát. Ez pedig nem elbizakodottá vagy fösvénnyé teszi, hanem megtanítja szolgálni.”
Kálmán Cseri, Tízparancsolat

“The bottom line is that conscientious objection to abortion used to be accepted as a common response to a controversial issue. Now it's increasingly viewed as a threat to the dominant culture and a form of discrimination that must be eradicated.”
Luke Goodrich, Free to Believe: The Battle Over Religious Liberty in America

“I have a simple definition: religious freedom means the government, within reasonable limits, leaves religion alone as much as possible.”
Luke Goodrich, Free to Believe: The Battle Over Religious Liberty in America
