"Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions."

"He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals"

"For me, religion is like a rhinoceros: I don't have one, and I'd really prefer not to be trampled by yours."

"As for mother Eve - I wasn't there and can't deny the story, but I will say this. If she brought evil into the world, we men have had the lion's share of keeping it going ever since."

"Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes."

"If all men are made in God's reflection, then why do some people continue to acknowledge only what is in their part of the mirror? If every man was created equal and in the image of God, then how can any man claim that one race is better than another?"

"Still amazes me that people spend more time researching a new vehicle than they do the religion they entrust their souls to."

"Men die in battle; women die in childbirth."

"Whose little boy are you?"

"We give up our backs and allow religious myths to apply the rear naked choke to our minds."

"There's no guarantee of disaster-free in any world religion,but love, faith and knowledge give men hope and willpower."

"Science Fiction: Any scientific acclaim that omits God."

"So India’s problem turns out to be the world’s problem. What happened in India has happened in God’s name.The problem’s name is God."

"Woman is the light of God."

"Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday."

"We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome."

"I could never work out whether we were to view religion as a life-insurance policy or a life sentence. I can understand a wrathful God who'd just as soon dangle us all from a hook. And I can understand a tender, unprejudiced Jesus. But I could never quite feature the two of them living in the same house. You wind up walking on eggshells, never knowing which... is at home at the moment."

"All religions lead to the same God, and all deserve the same respect. Anyone who chooses a religion is also choosing a collective way for worshipping and sharing the mysteries. Nevertheless, that person is the only one responsible for his or her actions along the way and has no right to shift responsibility for any personal decisions on to that religion."

"So no, I’m not too big on religion...and not very fond of politics or economics either...And why should I be? They are the man-created trinity of terrors that ravages the earth and deceives those I care about. What mental turmoil and anxiety does any human face that is not related to one of those three?"

"I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing."
