The God that Paul invented for himself, a God who reduced to absurdity the wisdom of this world (especially the two great enemies of superstition, philology and medicine), is in truth only an indication of Paul's resolute determination to accomplish that very thing himself: to give one's own will the name of God, Torah - that is essentially Jewish.

Almost two thousand years, and no new god!

But to show you my heart fully, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear to be not a god! Therefore, there are no gods.

To me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together, without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer or cash on the line.

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
