There's a built-up tension in religion, and if you can release it, you'll get a huge and satisfying laugh.

I guess I'm drawn to religion because I can be provocative without harming something people really care about, like their cars.

I don't know what the universe is all about, but to me, nothing is gained by slapping a God sticker on it. It has never been a comfort to me to believe there's an all-seeing eye in the sky.

I'm enthralled by the national yearning that the Russians had during the 50s and 60s. The whole century was pretty rough for them. They suffered genocide, war, poverty, and half the population was sent to labor camps. But they were determined to get into space first.

Every joke can't be dazzling. And if you think you spotted an inconsistency, you did!
