Yilmaz Quotes

Das Grundgesetz ist nicht die Hausordnung einer Kneipe, kleingedruckt an der Wand hängend, die man zufällig auf dem Weg zum Klo sieht.

Der getunte Erfolgshype unserer Gesellschaft produziert immer weniger authentische Erfolge und stattdessen schillernde Placebo-Persönlichkeiten. Die Lebensläufe sind fein geschliffen, Misserfolge, Ecken und Kanten in der Biografie fehl am Platz. Am besten mit 24 Jahren den Master in Regelstudienzeit, neben Deutsch noch zwei Weltsprachen fließend, zwei Auslandsaufenthalte, ein Praktikum bei einem Weltkonzern und noch ehrenamtlich irgendwelche Senioren zum Arzt fahren.

Intelligent Design is fraught with even more difficulties, as it suggests God as one who dips His hand in every now and then to bring about the first microbial life, to bring about new forms during the Cambrian explosion, and to finally create humans after 4.55 billion years of earth, while He was doing... what exactly? According to Intelligent Design advocates, God tinkers with animal life every once in a few hundred million years or so, for reasons never made explicitly clear.

Lest anyone dispute that the Bible is not the inspired Word of God but rather the direct and dictated Word of God, let us consider the uniqueness of the 66 books of the Bible. Why is it that we can tell that a certain book of the Bible was written by one author rather than another? Why do the different books of the Bible use different languages (e.g., Greek, Hebrew) and different vocabularies? Why are the styles of books like Proverbs and Chronicles so different from one another? It is because people were vessels for the inspiration of God, but they were not empty vessels; God did not bypass their humanity. The way in which these people recorded their encounters with God bears the indelible stamp of their place in time, their culture, and their individual personalities.

When God communed with these ancient writers, He did not inform them that the seat of emotion is actually the brain rather than the innards. God is infinitely wise, and His reasons for not correcting the ancients' physiological knowledge can only be speculated upon. One may postulate that to revise the ancients' entire understanding of science was superfluous to the purpose and message God had for these people. God did not feel the need to update their scientific knowledge—perhaps because God felt no need to do so, or perhaps to do so would have bewildered them and made them suspicious of this God who knew nothing of their 'correct' science.

Let's take back real science in the name of our Lord. Let us love our God with all our mind by fully embracing the incredible mental faculties with which we have been blessed. Indulge your God-given curiosity and discover the nuts and bolts of the universe; don't be ashamed of how He has created us and the rest of creation. Today's Christianity is known for what it is against. What if it was known for what it was for?

The Muslim fundamentalists in there seemed to accept he was a person of the book, even if, in their eyes, he was following an erroneous interpretation of Jesus as the Christ. Instead, they reserved their elitist disdain for the Godless majority – those people beyond rehabilitation and destined for Hell. Nevertheless, the Muslims organised themselves into thuggish gangs and made it clear their own brethren were off limits. Nobody bothered with them, whether through mutual resentment or out of respect for the unwritten code of maintaining gang autonomy – perhaps a bit of both. And maybe the ‘Mullah Boys’ saw no need to exact revenge on him because Miranda Yilmaz was a white convert and not one of their own. Most of these bearded zealots were Pakistani or Afro-Caribbean. One or two Albanians also identified with the faith, although they resented the Asians and didn’t strike Ed as particularly religious.

In Turkey, the value of the lira has decreased exponentially in the last several decades.

Nichts ist so wichtig wie die Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft, und nichts transportiert diese wichtige Emotion besser als Bildung.

Die einzige reelle Chance, die uns bleibt, um unser Land mit seinen schützenswerten Werten auf einen zukunftsfähigen Weg zu bringen, besteht darin, zunächst allen Menschen, ungeachtet ihrer Herkunft, Talent zu unterstellen.

YILMAZ ODABAŞI (Do�. 1 9 6 1 )

Wer partout nicht begreifen will, dass sich dieses Land und seine Bevölkerung gewandelt hat und noch weiter wandeln wird, wer ausblendet, dass wir weniger, älter und bunter werden und es deshalb neuer Wege des Umgangs mit der schrumpfenden Masse von Talenten bedarf, wird den wuchtigen Aufprall mit der Realität zu spüren bekommen; der Schlag wird wie der Punch eines Schwergewichtsboxers sein. Die Zukunft kommt, sie hat noch nie gewartet.

During the Allied invasion of World War II, hundreds of life-like rubber dummy paratroopers were dropped into the French countryside. These distractions drew German fire away from the Allies and wasted a great deal of the Germans' ammunition and other military resources. While the Germans were busy firing at dummies, Allied troops were busy sneaking behind enemy lines. The real battle was taking place elsewhere, while the unwitting Germans were squandering their firepower and energy on mere rubber dummies.1 I submit to you, as Christians we are attacking the “rubber dummy” of evolution, while the real enemy slips past us unnoticed and unchallenged. How will we answer God on judgment day when He asks us why we pointlessly besieged so many distractions, meanwhile the real battle was taking place elsewhere?

Ölmek için fazla ölüsün -Özgür, Ölüme Fısıldayan Adam

Lasati femeile sa se povesteasca, sa vorbeasca in ritmul lor despre propriile experiente, sa le cunoasteti. Veti fi surprinsi ca intre alb, negru si gri sa vedeti nuantele albastrului de Iznik, portocaliul sofranului, mozaicul uluitor al Bagdadului, verdele cedrului de Liban, movul, verdele si rosul zambetelor adolescentine de pe strazile Teheranului, albul revolutiei renuntarii la voal. Descoperiti-le poemele, romanele, picturile, nuvelele, activitatile academice uluitoare, lupta pentru a fi recunoscute ca fiind sportive, dansatoare sau pur si simplu sa le fie recunoscut dreptul de a fi trecute ca mame in certificatele de nastere ale propriilor prunci. Descoperiti-le povestile de rezistenta, si supravietuire pentru a demonstra atat: ca exista, ca gandesc, ca au propriile optiuni si vise despre vietile lor. Ca sunt.
