"You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God"
- Tammy Faye Bakker
About this Quote
In this quote, Tammy Faye Bakker is suggesting that excessive education or knowledge can possibly lead someone far from their relationship with God. She is implying that the more one finds out and comprehends about the world and its intricacies, the less they might count on their faith in God. This might be due to a sense of self-sufficiency or a questioning of religious beliefs. Bakker is cautioning against becoming too taken in with worldly understanding and forgeting one's spiritual connection with God. She believes that a strong relationship with God needs a balance between education and faith.
