Change is not what we expect from religious people. They tend to love the past more than the present or the future.

"Christ" is bigger than the Earth planet. If tomorrow we discover life on another planet, the whole "Jesus" piece would not make sense anymore. If he did everything for just us on this planet he wouldn't be the savior of the "world."

All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will transmit it to those around us.

Life is not a matter of creating a special name for ourselves, but of uncovering the name we have always had.

My scientist friends have come up with things like 'principles of uncertainty' and dark holes. They're willing to live inside imagined hypotheses and theories. But many religious folks insist on answers that are always true. We love closure, resolution and clarity, while thinking that we are people of 'faith'! How strange that the very word 'faith' has come to mean its exact opposite.

The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.

Those who are not true leaders will just affirm people at their own immature level.
