ORTHODOX, n. An ox wearing the popular religious joke. - Ambrose Bierce
The doctrine of eternal punishment is in perfect harmony with the savagery of the men who made the orthodox creeds. It is in harmony with torture, with flaying alive, and with burnings. The men who burned their fellow-men for a moment, believed that God would burn his enemies forever. - Robert G. Ingersoll
Some people in orthodox churches in Africa take poverty as a path that leads to heaven, making christianity look unattractive. - Michael Bassey Johnson
The orthodox tend to think that people who, like the postmodernists and me, believe neither in God nor in some suitable substitute, must feel that everything is permitted, that everybody can do what they like. - Richard M. Rorty
It is possible for a Christian to be perfectly orthodox and yet to be defeated, and to be living a defeated and a useless life. - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Orthodox medicine has not found an answer to your complaint. However, luckily for you, I happen to be a quack. - Richter cartoon caption
