“But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together,
without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we
have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer
or cash on the line. Well, I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It’s
not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him
anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven,
The Sermon on the Mount.”
