Spot the odd one out: Oprah, Christianity, The Religious Society of Friends, the M People.
'Of all horrible religions the most horrible is the worship of the god within you. ... Let Jones worship the sun or moon, anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment ad enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognised an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.' - G.K.Chesteron, Orthodoxy
In contrast, the name by which every Christian must be called is 'The LORD is our righteousness.' (Jeremiah 23.6)
[Quoted in The Good News We Almost Forgot, DeYoung]
