More From Charles Kingsley

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.
Atheist Pain Fear
We are a church of sinners but we must not be afraid of holiness. do not be afraid to aim for holiness and turn yourselves over to the love of god. holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things but carrying out daily things in an extraordinary way that is with love, joy and faith.
Mean Joy Church
The church was resolved to have a new testament, and as, after the lapse of more than three hundred years, no handwriting could be proved or disproved, the church, which like former impostors had then gotten possession of the state, had everything its own way. it invented creeds, such as that called the apostle's creed, the nicean creed, the athanasian creed, and out of the loads of rubbish that were presented it voted four to be gospels, and others to be epistles, as we now find them arranged.
Years Religion Church
Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.
Strong Humility Self
While i am opposed to all orthodox creeds, i have a creed myself; and my creed is this. happiness is the only good. the time to be happy is now. the place to be happy is here. the way to be happy is to make others so. this creed is somewhat short, but it is long enough for this life, strong enough for this world. if there is another world, when we get there we can make another creed.
