One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?

Let probability and sample size do the heavy lifting.

Half the time I pick up a book, that's what I'm trying to get.

I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened.

It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, looking out from within our reality that it would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater than reality, or it would not be reasonable.

I need for there to be something bigger than me. I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out.
