The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith

We are born believing. A man bears beliefs, as a tree bears apples.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

People want to follow someone with convictions, not questions. Smooth eloquence can never take the place of unwavering belief.

Faith in the biblical sense is substantive, based on the knowledge that the One in whom that faith is placed has proven that He is worthy of that trust. In its essence, faith is a confidence in the person of Jesus Christ and in His power, so that even when His power does not serve my end, my confidence in Him remains because of who He is.

If I want to understand the laws of physics I have to first believe what I read about physics. I have to have faith in what I read.

Faith is the first step to understanding. Either it's the Word of an infallible God, the fallible words of men, or faith in what you personally believe. You've got to have faith in something. Believe me.

Atheists don't hate fairies, leprechauns, or unicorns because they don't exist. It is impossible to hate something that doesn't exist. Atheists — like the painting experts hated the painter — hate God because He does exist.

I'm not a beatnik. I'm a Catholic.

I don't have Gandalf the White's certainty about everything.

I am a Christian.

I'm totally a supernatural freak in real life.
