Quote by Peace Pilgrim

Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.

Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost no

Summary

This quote suggests that while a large number of people claim to be followers of Christianity, only a small minority truly embody its teachings in their daily lives. It implies that genuinely living out the principles of the faith can appear strange or unconventional to others, possibly leading them to view the practitioner as eccentric or unusual. It also highlights the impact of deviating from or rejecting Christianity, implying that society reacts just as strongly to those who disavow the religion as to those who actively practice it.

Pre-meditations, pretentions, the faces that they present to the world, the faces that they present to themselves.. onion skins that come in layer after layer. They're on the inside of all that. And I... I am the inside of the onion skin walking around. I am only me.
