the wisdom of oscar wilde

...who, though the few quips below are indeed shaded in hues of wisdom, was not necessarily a wise man. [disclaimer]

"A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it."
Muslims die for a lie each and every day.


"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
No one is perfect, especially Christians. Sinners will never be perfect, nor forgiven.


"Self-denial is the shining sore on the leprous body of Christianity."
Christians don't follow Christianity. They follow a real and living person who can be known, loved, experienced, enthroned, and embodied... Much of what passes for Christianity is not Christianity. And, paraphrasing Mr. Wilde...

'a man is not necessarily Christian because he believes he is.'
