Religious fanaticism has clearly produced, and in all probability will continue to produce, enormous amounts of bickering, fighting, violence, bloodshed, homicide, feuds, wars, and genocide.

For that again, is what all manner of religion essentially is: childish dependency.

You have only to exist as you do and to live your life as best you can.

The individual is taught that there is nothing that he as a total person is to feel ashamed of or self-hating for.

To err is human; to forgive people and yourself for poor behavior is to be sensible and realistic.

The goal of all life is to have a ball.

Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
