"There was no religion in my life growing up. Did God invent us or did we invent God?" ― Eddie Izzard Topic(s): Religion More From Eddie Izzard "Religion and philosophy, philosophy and religion – they’re two words which are both… different. In spelling." "I mean, sometimes… a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don’t deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don’t even notice that that’s the thing." "I like my coffee like I like my women. In a plastic cup." More In Religion "What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!"― Sydney Smith "The Islam of the 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th century was a poor thing. Nobody bothered about it. Islam was that funny sort of pure system of beliefs that depressed people in the Middle East held as their religion."― John Keegan "Religion obviously played a role in this book and the previous book, too."― Studs Terkel
