"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring." ― Chuck Palahniuk Topic(s): God More From Chuck Palahniuk "Some of the best ideas I get seem to happen when I’m doing mindless manual labor or exercise. I’m not sure how that happens, but it leaves me free for remarkable ideas to occur." "Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don’t any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves." "Personal identity seems like it’s just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ to Jay Gatsby in ‘The Great Gatsby.’ It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you’re given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?" More In God "Religion is of general and public concern, and on its support depend, in great measure, the peace and good order of government, the safety and happiness of the people."― Samuel Chase "O that unbelievers would learn of faithful Abraham, and believe whatever is revealed from God, though they cannot fully comprehend it! Abraham knew God commanded him to offer up his son, and therefore believed, notwithstanding carnal reasoning might suggest may objections."― George Whitefield "Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don’t need."― Bill Maher
