God is the celebrity author of the world’s best seller. We have made god into the biggest celebrity of all, to contain our own emptiness.

A man full of faith is simply one who has lost the capacity for clear and realistic thought.

The most satisfying and ecstatic faith is almost purely agnostic. It trusts absolutely without professing to know at all.

The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.

I cannot persuade myself that a beneficient and omnipotent God would have designedly created…that a cat should play with mice.

If mankind were born tomorrow it would divide into groups; each would scramble to invent their one and only god, and set about butchering each-other.
