I am forever pure.

What is illusion,
Or the world?

What is the little soul,
Or God Himself?

One without two,
I am always the same.

I sit in my heart.

-Ashtavakra Gita 20:11-12

I'm feel I'm less Christian every day that passes, though I was raised that way. I've been singing in Cathedrals since I was six, and I always liked the following few verses from the Psalms:

Psalm CXXXIX, vv 7-10:
Whither then shall I go from Thy spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I go up into the Heaven, Thou art there; if I go down into Hell, Thou art there also.
If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the uttermost parts of the Sea,
Even there shall Thy hand lead me; even there shall Thy right hand hold me fast.

Personally, I find the effect of these verses for me is improved by the "older" style English, but ignoring any religious connotations, I sill find them to be beautiful words.

The only other quote I can think of right now, is John, Chapter I, vv6, which always felt like a great way to start a story:

"There once was a man, sent from God, whose name was John."

Kinda has that "epic" feel to it.

Still, that's my fiftieth of a dollar.

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." - Albert Einstein

"My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend. Your imaginary friend dosen't exist. Mine does." Replace "imaginary friend" with "God", and it is equally valid, occurs all the time, yet makes just as much sense.

After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

The word "Christianity" is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
