If I worship the fact that I don’t worship anything, amongst other things what I’m worshipping is denial.

Where am I?” you ask. Where you are is where the things you’ve denied worshipping have taken you.

The ‘gods’ that do us the greatest harm are the gods we deny having.

I spend my life constantly calling in ‘imaginary’ debts that aren’t owed to me in order to avoid the ‘real’ debts that I owe to others, and so everybody ends up bankrupt.

My first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be. The blatant discrepancy which is certain to ensue then allows me to not only justify my rejection of Him, it grants me unbridled permission to discount His existence altogether. And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all.

Love in the service of self is greed in disguise.
