For us to think we can enjoy, understand and practice the Christian religion with just Matthew to Revelation is foolishness.

I broke with my religion in college.

Religion is never the problem it's the people who use it to gain power.

We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you're lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.
