“theology is to religion what poisons are to food”

“I would like to coin the phrase alimentary theology, a theology that is more attentive to and welcoming of the multiple layers contained and implied in the making of theology. This is a theology that not only pays closer attention to matters related to food and nourishment, and the many ways they can relate, inspire, and inform theological reflection. Most importantly, it is an envisioning of theology as nourishment: food as theology and theology as food. Alimentary theology is envisioned as food for thought; it addresses some of the spiritual and physical hungers of the world, and seeks ways of bringing about nourishment.”

“What is food to one, is to others bitter poison.”

“The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”

“History has the relation to truth that theology has to religion — ie., none to speak of”

“The woman who preaches has poison religion. Let the respectable ones go”
