Christendom has done away with Christianity without being quite aware of it.

Once you label me you negate me.

It is more blessed to give than to receive, but then it is also more blessed to be able to do without than to have to have.

...it is presumptuous ridicule of God if someone thinks that only the person who desires great wealth chooses mammon. Alas, the person who insists on having a penny without God, wants to have a penny all for himself. He thereby chooses mammon. A penny is enough, the choice is made, he has chosen mammon; that it is little makes not the slightest difference. The love of God is hatred of the world and love of the world hatred of God.

My standpoint is armed neutrality.

No one may pride himself at being more than an individual, and no one despondently think that he is not an individual.

If you think you understand, it isn't God.
