How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.
Here is God's purpose - for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.
Remind yourself that God is with you and nothing can defeat you. Believe that you now receive power from Him.

The higher animals are in a sense drawn into Man when he loves them and makes them (as he does) much more nearly human than they would otherwise be.
There is a justifiable reaction against a type of religion which imposed rigid restrictions on any kind of rational enjoyment, while it left men free to exploit one another and to make life hideous in the race for wealth.
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank.
