Religion

I love God. He's so deliciously evil.

What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.

It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.

It was Peace. Peace is when you would shake the hands of the people around you. And you knew peace was coming because the priest would say it five times rapid fire. He'd go, "My peace I leave, my peace I give to you. While we ate Reese's Pieces with the Lord. And I have a piece of lint in my peaceful EYE!"

A cult is a religion with no political power.

To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos - the trees, the clouds, everything.
