What we do in every other area of our lives (other than religion), is, rather than respect somebody's beliefs, we evaluate their reasons.

How we pay attention to the present moment...determin es the character of our experience and...the quality of our lives.

Unfortunately, failure enjoys a natural advantage. Wrong answers to any problem outnumber right ones by a wide margin, and it seems that it will always be easier to break things than to fix them.

My concern with religion is that it allows us by the millions to believe what only lunatics or idiots could believe on their own. That's not to say that all religious people are lunatics or idiots. It's anything but that.

There's no way to reconcile Islam with Christianity. This difference of opinion admits of compromise as much as a coin toss does.

It is as though a portal in time has opened, and the Christians of the 14th century are pouring into our world.

All civilized nations must unite in condemnation of a theology that now threatens to destabilize much of the earth.
