How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.

People write to me all the time to tell me that homosexuality is an abomination. They base this on a quote in Leviticus. I think the Bible has proved to be a very mysterious and dangerous document.

People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. I don't know why. No, I do indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.
