Quotation Marks

"Recent comments about Christians as jurists, coworkers as families, and Jesus as a terrorist"

Ted Olsen | posted 3/01/2003 12:00AM

"[Most Christians] call Muhammad a terrorist. They could call Jesus a terrorist too. I mean, he was pretty tough on money lenders a time or two."

"Individuals who are demonstrative about their religion do not share the same values, tenets, or practices, and thus do not represent a cross-section of society."

"The word family has taken on a wonderful and extended meaning … and can include people like coworkers or roommates."

"In the story of Noah's ark, the snake lived next to the dove. In our own church tradition, the snake coiled itself around the dove in order to protect it."
