I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.

But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Who is the most favoured of God? He from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.
What happens when people open their hearts?They get better.
