Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.
Phillips Brooks
The word ''Christianity'' is already a misunderstanding -- in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We're more popular than Jesus Christ now. I don't know which will go first; rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
Mahatma Gandhi
The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.
Denis Diderot
Jesus is the God whom we can approach without pride and before whom we can humble ourselves without despair.
Blaise Pascal
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Jesus died too soon. He would have repudiated His doctrine if He had lived to my age.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If Jesus Christ were to come today people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he has to say, and make fun of it.
Thomas Carlyle
If Christ is not divine, every impulse of the Christian world falls to a lower octave, and light and love and hope decline.
Henry Ward Beecher
Jesus Christ was an extremist for love, truth and goodness.
Martin Luther King Jr
It is as wholly wrong to blame Marx for what was done in his name, as it is to blame Jesus for what was done in his.
Tony Benn
I cannot say that Jesus was uniquely divine. He was as much God as Krishna, or Rama, or Mohammed, or Zoroaster.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in Jesus An' what the Bible said An' I am fairly certain He had himself a heavy head. He scared the lyin' people So bad, they hung him dead An' they never even listened To what he really said.
