More From Judith Martin

Make statements also applies to us women: speak in statements instead of apologetic questions. no one wants to go to a doctor who says, “i’m going to be your surgeon? i’m here to talk to you about your procedure? i was first in my class at johns hopkins, so?” make statements, with your actions and your voice.
Witty Class Voice
I would never want to pass a law limiting freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean we have to condone statements that undermine basic national unity and respect. imagine being asked to defend a country where some citizens say the man in the white house isn't their president. or a major presidential contender accuses the commander in chief of not even being a u.s. citizen. those kinds of statements erode trust in our democracy, and it's up to both parties to publicly reject them. we have to restore confidence that we are a nation that loves and believes in itself.
Country Party Believe
The church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors.... for my part, i would say, welcome infidelity! welcome atheism! welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these divines! they convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of thomas paine, voltaire, and bolingbroke put together have done!

"welcome? after last time, you've got the nerve to welcome me?" i shifted uneasily, because talking that way to a god can get you blasted into dust bunnies. "um, nico-" "it's all right," persephone said coldly. "we had a little family spat." "family spat?" nico cried. "you turned me into a dandelion!

The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. if we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. and a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit.

I think the connection between poetry and theology, which is profound in western tradition - there is a great deal of wonderful religious poetry - both poetry and theology push conventional definitions and explore perceptions that might be ignored or passed off as conventional, but when they are pressed yield much larger meanings, seem to be part of a much larger system of reality.

You must be patient, you must wait for the eye of the soul to be formed in you. religious truth is reached, not by reasoning, but by an inward perception. anyone can reason; only disciplined, educated, formed minds can perceive.

I think that the problem of the american negro goes beyond the principle of any organization whether it's a religious, political, or otherwise.
Religious Thinking Organization
If our life is not a course of humility, self-denial, renunciation of the world, poverty of spirit, and heavenly affection, we do not live the lives of christians.
Christian Religious Humility
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.
