Just when the truth about life sinks in, His truth starts to surface. He takes us by the hand and dares us not to sweep the facts under the rug but to confront them with him at our side.

God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote emphasizes that divine judgment is not swayed by political affiliations and that God transcends human political divisions.
Max Lucado's quote illustrates the idea that God does not favor one political ideology over another. Instead, it promotes the understanding that human political affiliations, represented by the donkey and elephant symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties, do not influence God's perception or relationship with humanity. This serves as a reminder that spiritual matters are distinct from political ones and encourages unity beyond ideological divides.

Don't you think I have sense enough to worry about my motives for saying the prayer? That's exactly what's bothering me so. Just because I'm choosy about what I want - in this case, enlightenment or peace, instead or money or prestige or game or any of those things, doesn't mean I'm not as egotistical and self-seeking as everybody else. If anything, I'm more so!

I prefer rationalism to atheism. The question of God and other objects-of-faith are outside reason and play no part in rationalism, thus you don't have to waste your time in either attacking or defending.
