St Catherine of Siena

I have a bit of supernatural take on life. For a moment, I went over to the other side. Since then, I can feel the presence of the departed. I’m very sensitive to it.

Our God is a forgiving God.

Not only higher forms of life but also many of the smallest insects are social beings who, without any religion, law or education, survive by mutual cooperation based on an innate recognition of their interconnectedness.

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

When one person suffers from a delusion It is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion It is called Religion.

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.

Outside the kingdom of the Lord there is no nation which is greater than any other. God and history will remember your judgment.

To be like Christ is to be a Christian.

Atheism is rather in the lip than in the heart of man.

God is the same everywhere.

I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.

I’ve been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, you’ve been up on the mountain, now you go down. You’re on your own, free. Check in later, but now you’re on your own.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
