Sally Sterling Quinn (born July 1, 1941) is an American author and journalist, who writes about religion for a blog at The Washington Post.
I think the Catholic and Protestant churches have become very stagnant.
So many of the problems we have today are because people don't respect the beliefs of others.
Europe is endearingly old fashioned in its secularism.
My feeling is that a newspaper should serve its readers and it just seems to me that given what is going in the world, people are hungry for something.
I now consider myself quite religious and spiritual although that sounds like a terrible cliche.
Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.
This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.
Everyone seems to be searching and yearning for answers whatever they may be. And that ends up being some kind of spiritual or religious belief.
One of the reasons the Europeans don't like the Muslims is because they are religious. Americans like the fact that they are religious. They just don't like the form it takes.
Women will have all the power one day anyway. It's just a matter of time.
I never know what I'm going to do for the Post next. Two weeks ago I had a piece on Homeland Security. This is one of my pig ongoing projects. How unprepared we are for a terrorist attack.
I think that obviously humans find it very difficult to believe that there is no there there. So they created these stories and myths to give their lives some meaning.
When we stop and reflect things begin to happen and sometimes we get the essence of God when we are just quiet.
I had cottage cheese for lunch and a glass of wine when I got home tonight.
Every poll shows that most journalists are Democrats.
Everyone gets meaning in different ways.
The Europeans have fallen away from religion and the church while the rest of the world is seemingly more religious. I don't know how to explain it.
The football season is like pain. You forget how terrible it is until it seizes you again.
Those who are religious or who have any beliefs have so much to choose from.
I just had a thought that perhaps religion is so vibrant here is because of the melting pot aspect to our society. WE have so many cultures here in the US and they all bring something new to their religious experiences.
