America's greatness is built on the principles of liberty and preserved by the men and women who wear the uniform to defend it. As I have said on numerous occasions, a religious test for entering our country is not reflective of these fundamental values. I reject it. Many Muslim Americans have served valiantly in our military, and made the ultimate sacrifice. Captain Khan was one such brave example. His sacrifice-and that of Khizr and Ghazala Khan-should always be honored. Period. View quote
Paul Ryan

Ernest Hemingway
I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
One sacrifice, however great, is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinner's part. That God's wrath should be vented upon His beloved Son, is divinely unnatural. Such a theory is man-made. ... The material blood of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sin when it was shed upon ‘the accursed tree,' than when it was flowing in his veins as he went daily about his Father's business. ... His disciples believed Jesus to be dead while he was hidden in the sepulchre, whereas he was alive. View quote
