Either christianity is true or it's false. if you bet that it's true, and you believe in god and submit to him, then if it is true, you've gained god, heaven, and everything else. if it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. if you bet that christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. but if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

How can anyone lose who chooses to become a christian? if, when he dies, there turns out to be no god and his faith was in vain, he has lost nothing...if, however, there is a god and a heaven and a hell. then he has gained heaven and his skeptical friends have lost everything.

What is illusion? m.: to whom is the illusion? find it out. then illusion will vanish. generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. it is foolish. illusion is outside and unknown. but the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
