“Religions are strange. They seem to be caught in some dream which they won’t give up and trying to convince others of the truth of their dream, when in fact each person is having their own dream. Take what you need from the religions and just leave the rest, and be all right with that.”

“It‘s all a dream, until we realize that it is all a dream. Until then, we need to participate in the dream as if it were real … if we choose.”

“Religions can be lethal. If they are for you, there is an antidote. It’s called faith, which has nothing to do with religion. What’s the point of having faith in religion? Better to have faith in the Creator of all faith.”

“Religion will not get us where we need to go. It just goes so far, and then we’re on our own toward the open space where there are no religious practices or beliefs.”

“Sometimes it seems that the world is a very, very, large, insane asylum. We need only not get caught in others’ madness and stick to our own.”

“There are many ways to scare people. Religion seems to be the best of these.”

“Why wouldn’t there be divine humor? That’s what the religions sometimes forget.”
