“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.”

“Worry has everything to do with lack of faith, and lack of faith has a lot to do with not believing in yourself as much as you believe in others.”

“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.”

“When you are around people who are really suffering, you get to experience some of their suffering and that can make you stronger in your faith.”

“The thing is to live fully, all the time knowing that it could be your last breath. That takes some powerful faith.”

“You always have to be prepared that the thing we want most desperately to happen may not happen the way we think. That takes faith. So why not try wanting to see something happen without desperation.”

“The trip is to play your part in the play knowing all along that you are not the one playing the part. That requires a good dose of faith and another dose of exquisite humor – sort of like looking in the mirror. Who is that?”
