This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family." "Real religion is no religion at all." "Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego.

They’re just hoping for survival."― Penelope Spheeris "Praying privately in churches, I began to discover that heaven was my true home and also that it was here and now, woven into this life."― Lionel Blue
