Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.
