“I would not say I am looking for God. Or, I am not looking for God precisely. I am not seeking the God I learned about as a Catholic child, as an 18-year-old novice in a religious community, as an agnostic graduate student, as - but who cares about my disguises? Or God's.”

“I am not your God. Or if I am, I'm no God you can seek out for deliverance or explanation. I'm the kind of God who would eat you without compunction if I were hungry.”

“When I look at my relationship with God as a chore, a sacrifice, then I am getting the glory- not God. I keep saying, 'Look what I have sacrificed for God...' or 'Listen to what I do for for God. It's hard, exhausting really...'.”

“I am not an ape, I am a man. The world has been created by God. Man has been created by God. It is not possible for man to understand God - God understands God. Man is God and therefore understands God. I am God. I am a man. I am good and not a beast. I am an animal with reason. I have flesh, I *am* flesh, I am not descended from flesh. Flesh is created by God. I am God. I am God. I am God.”

“Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!”

“I am the child of a lunatic. Not a child of God.”
