I think a big part of my faith teachings is to work together towards equality: that we're all created equal, and under the eyes of God, we all have a right to freedom and to access our rights equally.

The idea of human rights as a fundamental principle can be seen to underlie throughout Islamic teachings.

It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism - because that's mainly what I've been exposed to - was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction. Some real well thought out stuff. But I don't know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.

I'd been very partial to Malcolm X, particularly his self-help teachings.

Aggression and forced redistribution of wealth has nothing to do with the teachings of the world's great religions.

For me, in Buddhism there is a plethora of specific teachings that one can seek out and find for the individual dilemmas you may have.

Throughout the past, there has been a lack of intimacy, affection, and regard for Islam by Christianity. This, to a large extent, has been due to a lack of knowledge of the great human and spiritual ideals for which Islam and the teachings of Islam stand.

Even if I accepted that Jesus - like almost every other prophet on record - was born of a virgin, I cannot think that this proves the divinity of his father or the truth of his teachings. The same would be true if I accepted that he had been resurrected.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book.

The Catholic Church's teachings are authoritative. There is a moral absolute on abortion - that it is wrong.

Anybody who had come up with a new concept would have been under suspicion for being out of step with the tradition or out of step with the teachings of the church.

Oh, I don't think religion has failed. It's man who has failed. Christ hasn't failed. The Gospel hasn't failed. The teachings of God have not failed.

There's a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It's deceptive because when you have pride, you're usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn't sell well.

My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go.

The teachings of the Church line up more with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.
