Quote by Robert J. Marks II

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying

Summary

This quote highlights that just as a cookbook utilizes chemistry principles to explain cooking processes without being a comprehensive textbook on chemistry, the Bible employs narratives, metaphors, and symbolic language to convey spiritual and moral truths rather than providing detailed scientific explanations. It emphasizes that the Bible should be approached as a religious and philosophical guide, rather than a scientific manual, helping individuals understand life's purpose, human nature, and the relationship between humanity and the divine. By acknowledging this distinction, one can appreciate the unique value and purpose of the Bible's teachings without expecting it to address scientific matters in a literal sense.

There is but one love of Jesus, as there is but one person in the poor -- Jesus. We take vows of chastity to love Christ with undivided love; to be able to love him with undivided love we take a vow of poverty which frees us from all material possessions, and with that freedom we can love him with undivided love, and from this vow of undivided love we surrender ourselves totally to him in the person who takes his place.

You can't just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different, and I'm sorry I let you go, yes, but you made the choice. You left me Perhapsless, stuck in your goddamned labyrinth. And now I don't even know if you chose the straight and fast way out, if you left me like this on purpose. And so I never knew you, did I? I can't remember, because I never knew.
