I’m Irish Catholic, and teasing is just the best thing in life. My father tortured me with teasing my whole life, so I thought it would be fun to tease Sarah. After all, my character was supposed to be nasty toward her.
~~~~~~~
I’m not a religious person. If I get close to religion it’s in these moments when people faint and shudder and have orgasms with religious fervor – I don’t think they’re kidding. And I’m envious.
~~~~~~~
I’m not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.

I’m not religious myself but it was fascinating. The most important thing – in spite of any scepticism I would have had – is the reaction of the people and how emotional they became.
~~~~~~~

In isolated societies creeds can be preserved. It is where people of different traditions, outlook and creeds mingle freely and exchange ideas that religious beliefs begin to be eroded. No one changes his beliefs without some instigation, some novel experience, some modification of the customary course of things, and in a closed society people believe what all their fellows obviously believe. Only when they are brought into contact with persons whom they respect holding different views do they begin to look at their inherited beliefs critically.
~~~~~~~
In nothing do the words of Christian liturgy strike the ears of contemporary men and women as ’empty ritual’ so much as when they speak of a loving, Spirit-filled community where none is visible.

In order to justify their behavior, they turn their theories into dogmas, their bylaws into First Principles, their political bosses into Gods and all those who disagree with them into incarnate devils. This idolatrous transformation of the relative into the Absolute and the all too human into the Divine, makes it possible for them to indulge their ugliest passions with a clear conscience and in the certainty that they are working for the Highest Good. And when the current beliefs come, in their turn, to look silly, a new set will be invented, so that the immemorial madness may continue to wear its customary mask of legality, idealism, and true religion.

In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ’s disciples being fishermen, and we were to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome where it became an institution. Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture. And, finally, it moved to America where it became an enterprise.
~~~~~~~
In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the difference between their own creed and yours; whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all the religions of humanity.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson
~~~~~~~
In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast power in the hands of priests.
~~~~~~~
Indeed, the Founders mentioned the pagan authors in so many heartfelt speeches, pamphlets and letters that today’s sweeping references to America’s ‘Christian’ roots and ‘Judeo-Christian heritage’ ought to be amended. Maybe these terms should be reserved to explain the traditional religions and morality of individuals, families, congregations, small communities. Politically, our notions of virtue and vice have had another genesis.

Ira Kane: Allow me to share something with the entire class. Last night as I was grading papers, I came across two gems both entitled ‘Cells are Bad’ and both with just one paragraph which I unfortunately committed to memory: ‘Cells are bad. My uncle lives in a cell. It’s ten foot by twelve and he has to read the same boring, old magazine everyday. The end.’ Although my standards are nowhere near where they used to be I could not bring myself to put As atop those beauties.
