“At some point we have to be able to say, “I have no idea what is going on.” Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder if that’s the whole trip, so that we can actually know what’s going on. Hmmmmmmmm.”

“If you want to be a radical theologian, you have to be able to say, “I have no idea what is going on.” That’s being a radical theologian.”

“In a sense we have to keep sweeping out the trash. It all has to go. Your whole history – it has to go. The whole trip has to go so that you can go on.”

“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”

“Did you ever do something and right after, you think, “Did that really happen?” Or you can’t even remember what happened? Hmmmmmmmm.”

“God is continuously learning from his creations. We think God knows what's going to happen next---Hmmmmmm..........I wonder.”
