When you do a good turn you feel rich, even if you are broke.

The Christian use of religion as a personal love affair both shocked me, and attracted me.

I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs.

Praying privately in churches, I began to discover that heaven was my true home and also that it was here and now, woven into this life.

For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.

An aged rabbi, crazed with liberalism, once said to me, We Jews are just ordinary human beings. Only a bit more so!

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God.
