  8 Copy quote

• Many people in a rather reckless context claim to 'just tell it like it is'. In actuality, nobody really stresses what one says so much as the motive behind what one says; hence, he is merely blowing hot air and detracting from 'what is'.

  Reflection, Reality, Body

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.129, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• Whenever you feel like feeling like a devil's advocate, Bible-thump. That, in a worldly world, is the great irony and satire of evangelism.

  Feelings, Devil, World

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.66, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• Joy, like love, is an impenetrable, God-given state of being. The distinctions between joy and happiness and love and affection are important ones under the notion that happiness is an 'iffy' emotion, a highly dependent feeling both aroused and destroyed by external conditions apart from God. And the distinction between love and affection is parallel to such.

  Criss Jami

  Love Is, Like Love, Joy

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.63, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• Those who live as though God sets the rules are not going by their own rules. That is the self-sacrifice, or selflessness, that peace more often than not requires. Those who insist on going by their own rules cannot make that sacrifice. They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.

  Fighting, Sacrifice, Thinking

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.57, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• Songwriting and poetry are so commonly birthed from underdogs because one can make even the ugliest situations admirable, or more beautiful than the beautiful situations - they are the most graceful media in which the lines of society are distorted.

  Criss Jami

  Beautiful, Media, Underdog

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.109, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• Christianity, like genius, is one of the hardest concepts to forgive. We hear what we want to hear and accept what we want to accept, for the most part, simply because there is nothing more offensive than feeling like you have to re-evaluate your own train of thought and purpose in life. You have to die to an extent in your hunger for faith, for wisdom, and quite frankly, most people aren't ready to die.

  Train Of Thought, People, Feelings

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.64, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

  Tired, Sight, People

  Criss Jami (2016). “Healology”, p.41, Criss Jami

• Philosophy may serve as the bridge between theology and science. All atheism is a philosophy, but not all philosophy is atheism. Philosophy ('love of wisdom') is simply a tool depending on how one uses it, and in some cases, logically understanding the nature of God and existence.

  Criss Jami

  Philosophy, Bridges, Understanding

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.10, Criss Jami

  4 Copy quote

• The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.

  Criss Jami

  Atheist, Father, Teenager

  Criss Jami (2015). “Killosophy”, p.78, Criss Jami
