• The more isolated and disconnected we are, the more shattered and distorted our self-identity. We are not healthy when we are alone. We find ourselves when we connect to others.

We lose ourselves...Who we understand ourselves to be is dramatically affected for better or worse by those we hold closest to us.

  Self, Community, Healthy

• For years I have made it my mission to destroy the influence of the Christian clich, 'the safest place to be is in the center of the will of God.'

  6 Copy quote

• I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions... For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.

  Erwin McManus

  Buddhism, Focus, Islam
