Religious faiths in the USA, 2007-2014

In this little book of Quotations With An Attitude, the section headed Religion, Beliefs and Scripture leads off with one from H.L. Mencken, (1880-1956) that goes: "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart."

Laurence J. Peter: "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car."

Lenny Bruce, (1923-1966): "Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God."

And here's one that applies to me............

Kingsley Amis: "He was of the faith chiefly in the sense that the church he currently did not attend was Catholic."

Dominus Vobiscum.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
