It is not bigotry, and other quotes

The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)

"When you reject the God of the Bible you end up making your own waffle." -- David Robertson [The full quote is "This is a great example of what happens when you reject the God of the Bible.  You end up making your own waffle, and being judgemental in your own name (all of course whilst declaring you are being non-judgemental)."]
