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

“Why is it that churches and religions and that whole gang behave as if they have got the whole God knowledge down. I mean what kind of arrogance is that?”

“Deep down everyone is really good. It’s just that sometimes people forget that they are that good.”

“Sometimes you wonder, “How did I get myself into that scene? Why did I take that on?” You know, you couldn’t really have done anything different at that time. Now maybe, if that comes around again, you might think twice, not think about it at all, or not do anything at all about it. But let it play itself out as it now presents itself. That’s called being open to life’s changes, however subtle or outrageous they come.”

“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.”

“There really is only one fear. It’s just broken down into many little fears. The one fear is that we can’t handle our fears. That’s why we have them, to go through them.”

“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.”
