Why do born-again people so often make you wish they'd never been born the first time?

Katharine Whitehorn

I never went through a wave of hating Christianity, even though my parents were born-again Christians, and there were a lot of ideas that were being practiced that I think were misguided.

Adrianne Lenker

Atheism is having a heyday in the born-again United States.

Alain de Botton

A weekend in Vegas without gambling and drinking is just like being a born-again Christian.

Artie Lange

There are other people in 'Dreamgirls' who are born-again Christians. We have a Bible study class once a week. It was started by Charles Bernard and myself. We meet at the theater.

Ben Harney

I had a born-again experience at the age of 33. As a result of that I found a church where I felt I was being fed properly. I don't say that as a reflection on Catholicism. But once I was born again, I got an evangelical spirit.

Bill McCartney

I grew up in a very fundamentalist, evangelical Christian household. Both my parents were born-again - their faith infused every aspect of my childhood. I'll probably spend most of my life working through that.

Craig Thompson

I believe as a born-again Christian that once you've had a chance to drink from the well, it becomes your responsibility to replenish the well.

Daniel Baldwin

Their plan is to return the entire world - not just the Middle East - to the days of the caliphate and either convert all of us so-called infidels into born-again Islamic believers or kill us.

David Hackworth

Europeans forget that one-third of the American people have had a personal conversation with Jesus Christ and that the born-again are not just little old ladies in black but also CEOs and provosts of universities and candidates for office.

Edmund White

I am a born-again atheist, so there isn't going to be a funeral. I will be buried in a linen wrap in a cardboard coffin in my forest with an oak tree planted on my head.

Felix Dennis

My favorite book is 'Redeeming Love.' It was my first as a born-again Christian, my statement of faith, and the most exciting year I've spent writing anything.

Francine Rivers

The trouble with born-again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around.

Herb Caen

As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.

Herschel Walker

The post-Cold War order in Europe is finished, with Vladimir Putin its executioner. Russia's invasion of Georgia only marked its passing. Russia has emerged as a born-again 19th-century power determined to challenge the intellectual, moral and institutional foundations of the order.

Ivan Krastev

It's not a born-again thing; it was a peaceful, really, really cool moment where I just felt that I was no longer the dad anymore. I actually had become a son, and it makes things much easier from a day-to-day perspective.

Jeff Fisher

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.

Jerry Falwell

There's a part of you - the born-again part, your spirit - that's dead to sin. That's why it bothers you now when you sin. The 'wilderness' part of you - your soul - is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

Joyce Meyer

I don't know if you can be a born-again virgin.

Judd Apatow

Why do born-again people so often make you wish they'd never been born the first time?

Katharine Whitehorn

My mother is very emotional as well, but my dad is more of the guts of the family. He was the main preacher, so he kind of had this little Pentecostal flair, but they are born-again.
