God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

God could have created us to be automatons who were always choosing the right side, making the right decision. It is an incredible thing, God said "I want persons" who therefore have freedom.

My father always used to say, "Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument." Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right.

All people would really want peace and all would want to be sure that they would not be taken advantage of.

God looks at the Middle East, looks at Palestine. When you go to the Holy Land and see what's being done to the Palestinians at checkpoints, for us, it's the kind of thing we experienced in South Africa.

Each one of us is not a divine afterthought.

I think that most of us would prefer to be popular than unpopular.
