Theologian Quotes

I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science Picture Quote #1

After chiding the theologian for his reliance on myth and miracle, science found itself in the unenviable position of having to create mythology of its own: namely, the assumption that what, after long effort, could not be proved to take place today had, in truth, taken place in the primeval past Picture Quote #1

I have decided, it is fruitless. For I am no longer sure of anything concerning my existance. A philosopher is a dead poet and a dying theologian Picture Quote #1

Everyone is a theologian, either conscious or unconscious, in the sense that everyone has some conception of the nature of reality, of the demands of reality, and of those elements in reality that support or threaten meaningful existence Picture Quote #1

As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve his purpose Picture Quote #1

Whatever a theologian regards as true must be false: there you have almost a criterion of truth Picture Quote #1

Whoever is so stupid as to imagine God to be either masculine or feminine openly shows that he is as bad a philosopher as a theologian Picture Quote #1

It is a mystery to me how a theologian can be praised for having brought himself to disbelieve dogmas. I’ve always thought that those who have brought themselves to believe in dogmas merit the true recognition owing a heroic deed Picture Quote #1

Only a very bad theologian would confuse the certainty that follows revelation with the truths that are revealed. They are entirely different things Picture Quote #1

A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating Picture Quote #1

I have only a small flickering light to guide me in the darkness of a thick forest. Up comes a theologian and blows it out Picture Quote #1

A theologian who does not love art, poetry, music and nature can be dangerous. Blindness and deafness toward the beautiful are not incidental; they necessarily are reflected in his theology Picture Quote #1

Saying that a great genius is mad, while at the same time recognizing his artistic worth, is like saying that he had rheumatism or suffered from diabetes. Madness, in fact, is a medical term that can claim no more notice from the objective critic than he grants the charge of heresy raised by the theologian, or the charge of immorality raised by the police Picture Quote #1

The theologian considers sin mainly as an offence against God; the moral philosopher as contrary to reasonableness Picture Quote #1
