What has `theology` ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has `theology` ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? What makes you think that `theology` is a subject at all?
- Richard DawkinsTheology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn`t there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.
- Robert A. HeinleinWhat a theologian feels as true, must be false: one has therein almost a criterion of truth
- Friedrich NietzscheFor centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
- Henry Louis MenckenWorm theology is too high for me
- Jack MillerIf we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go.
- John BurroughsTheology, not morality, is the first business on the church`s agenda of reform, and the church, not society, is the first target of divine criticism
- Michael Scott HortonLet us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.
- Robert Green IngersollReligion and atheism will both survive it (the musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Time Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber).
- Stanley KauffmannBlessed are the ears that hear the pulse of the divine whisperer, and give no heed to the many whisperings of the world
- Thomas KempisThe study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion
- Thomas Paine"Faith manages."
- Adrian Lamo
