Every christmas should begin with the sound of bells, and when i was a child mine always did. but they were sleigh bells, not church bells, for we lived in a part of cedar rapids, iowa, where there were no churches.

More From Paul Engle

Hear the sledges with the bells, silver bells! what a world of merriment their melody foretells! how they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air of night, while the stars that oversprinkle all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight: keeping time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme to the tintinnabulation that so musically wells from the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells-- from the jingling and the tingling of the bells.

...2009 saw the eighth 'ten-year flood' of fargo, north dakota, since 1989. in iowa, cedar rapids was hit last year by a flood that exceeded the 500-year flood plain. all-time flood records are being broken in areas throughout the world.

Christmas crept into pine cove like a creeping christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.

What james madison and the other men of his generation had in mind when they wrote the first amendment was that there should be no official relationship of any character between government and any church or many churches, and no levying of taxes for the support of any church, or many churches, or all churches, or any institution conducted by any of them.

At the heart of every really good christmas movie is the threat, i suppose, to christmas. something is wrong with christmas, in all of these movies. in 'the polar express,' there's a kid that doesn't really believe, and that's the threat to christmas. in 'santa claus: the movie,' jealousy and greed are threatening to overrun his christmas.
Believe Kids Heart
I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.

If there is a god, atheism must seem to him as less of an insult than religion.
Atheist If There Is A God Religion
Whether we are christians or muslims or nationalists or agnostics or atheists, we must first learn to forget our differences. if we have differences, let us differ in the closet; when we come out in front, let us not have anything to argue about until we get finished arguing with the man. if the late president kennedy could get together with khrushchev and exchange some wheat, we certainly have more in common with each other than kennedy and khrushchev had with each other.

It means nothing to be open to a proposition we don't understand.

Make philosophy thy journey, theology thy journey's end: philosophy is a pleasant way, but dangerous to him that either tires or retires; in this journey it is safe neither to loiter nor to rest, till thou hast attained thy journey's end; he that sits down a philosopher rises up an atheist.
