“Unlike humanity, my mind isn't so frail as to simply climb under gravity and submit to God.”

“They are so frail humans. So easily crumpled and broken, like flower petals under foot.”

“But my patience isn't limitless... unlike my authority.”

“There is no divinity achieved unless the individual mind submits itself to a mind supposed supreme. The Bible in its simplest form is simply that—a book. When you give it your mind it becomes powerful.”

“Prayer is the force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.”

“My feeling is, quite simply, that if there is a God, He has done such a bad jobthat he isn't worth discussing.”
