A Unitarian very earnestly disbelieves what everyone else believes.
A person who believes in nonviolence believes in a living God. He cannot accept defeat.
A person who believes that Elvis is still alive is very unlikely to get promoted to a position of great power and responsibility in our society. Neither will a person who believes that the holocaust was a hoax. But people who believe equally irrational things about God and the bible are now running our country. This is genuinely terrifying.

Everyone who believes in God must have His revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such faith cannot endure the test.
He who believes in God and the Last Day should honour his guest; he who believes in God and the Last Day should not annoy his neighbours; and he who believes in God and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent.
The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.
No one believes in God any more, but everyone believes in Bach.
Everyone who believes in God at all believes that he knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow.
Whoever believes in a God at all, believes in an infinite mystery; and if the existence of God is such an infinite mystery, we can very well expect and afford to have many of His ways mysterious to us.
There are various, nay, incredible faiths; why should we be alarmed at any of them? What man believes, God believes.
Man believes in the possible, but God believes in the impossible.
Love overlooks a person’s faults. That’s not always easy, but love believes the best in every person. Anybody can return evil for evil, but God wants His people to help heal wounded hearts.
