“I was frightened even by God. I could not believe in His love, only in His punishment. Faith. That, I felt was the act of facing the tribunal of justice with one's head bowed to receive the scourge of God. I could believe in hell, but it was impossible for me believe in the existence of heaven.”

“But the evangelical impulse, the idea that people need the Lord, that we have been given a unique understanding of the truth about the most complex questions about reality, and which we must impose through persuasion or coercion, has never made much sense to me when I survey the complexities of the world and the diversity of experiences and points of view. Even worse, that way of thinking seems to be at the root of so many evils that have been perpetuated throughout human history by religious fundamentalists and other extremist ideologues. I fear that the same impulse is currently laying the groundwork for irreparable harm in our country and the world, and I fear that some of the people I have known and loved, and who have loved me, are being persuaded to aid and abet that evil... To subscribe to such a project, even out of a desire to maintain family and community ties, would be a betrayal of one's own integrity.”
