It’s a funny thing, when you talk to God, you’re religious, but when he talks to you, you’re a psychopath.

If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; If you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic.

The kind of people claiming to be in
communication with God today . . . they are enough to drive a real Christian crazy! And how about these evangelical types, performing miracles for money? Oh, there's big bucks in interpreting the gospel for idiots-or in having idiots interpret the gospel for you

The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend — and we cannot comprehend God; we can only believe in Him. The uses of prayer are thus only subjective.

When someone asks me if I believe in God and I say no — I believe in people — I

If a god ever decides to talk to you, the best thing you can do is pretend you don’t hear him.

It is a lie - any talk of God that does not comfort you.
