"For me Christianity is about the Kingdom, not about the Church: it has to do with human growth and development nor church growth and development.""I got arrested for signing autographs. Signing a little girl's autograph got me arrested.""We might say that the state is like an addictive drug: the more of it we have, the more we 'need' it and the more we come to 'depend' on it."
