“Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked thru it. ”

“Normally most religious people will talk 'at' you for GOD. But spiritual people will talk 'with' you about GOD.”

“Religion is for people who're afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there.”

“The spiritual differs from the religious in being able to endure isolation. The rank of a spiritual person is proportionate to his strength for enduring isolation, whereas we religious people are constantly in need of ‘the others,’ the herd. We religious folks die, or despair, if we are not reassured by being in the assembly, of the same opinion as the congregation, and so on. But the Christianity of the New Testament is precisely related to the isolation of the spiritual man.”

“The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?”

“I've wasted the last five years of my life dealing in religious articles. People today find spiritual solace in ballroom dancing.”
