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

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, leave the rest to God.
My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
