A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
Atheist Holiday Mean
Man little knows what calamities are beyond his patience to bear till he tries them; as in ascending the heights of ambition, which look bright from below, every step we rise shows us some new and gloomy prospect of hidden disappointment; so in our descent from the summits of pleasure, though the vale of misery below may appear, at first, dark and gloomy, yet the busy mind, still attentive to its own amusement, finds, as we descend, something to flatter and to please. still as we approach, the darkest objects appear to brighten, and the mortal eye becomes adapted to its gloomy situation.

There is a difference between the holy ghost and the gift of the holy ghost. cornelius received the holy ghost before he was baptized, which was the convincing power of god unto him of the truth of the gospel, but he could not receive the gift of the holy ghost until after he was baptized. had he not [been baptized], the holy ghost which convinced him of the truth of god, would have left him.

As a good christian should consider every place as holy, because god is there, so he should look upon every part of his life as a matter of holiness, because it is offered unto god. the profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter. but worldly business is to be made holy unto the lord, by being done as a service unto him, and in conformity to his divine will.

It is remarkable how liberating it feels to be able to see that your thoughts are just thoughts and that they are not 'you' or 'reality.' for instance, if you have the thought that you have to get a certain number of things done today and you don't recognize it as a thought but act as if it's the 'the truth,' then you have created a reality in that moment in which you really believe that those things must all be done today.
