Instead, I did this ridiculous thing of trying to do this music.

  • Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. They will promise a chicken in every pot. They'll promise that they'll keep Social Security solvent. They'll promise drugs for old people. They'll promise lots of stuff. But it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes.

As soon as we do this, we are putting God's actions in submission to our own reasoning, which is a ridiculous thing for clay to do.

    Francis Chan, Preston Sprinkle (2011). “Erasing Hell: What God Said about Eternity, and the Things We've Made Up”, p.88, David C Cook
