Compassion Doesn't, Of Course, Mean Feeling Sorry

There Are Some Forms Of Religion That Are Bad, Just As There's Bad Cooking Or Bad Art Or Bad Sex, You Have Bad Religion Too.

Religion Isn’t About Believing Things. It's Ethical Alchemy. It’s About Behaving In A Way That Changes You, That Gives You Intimations Of Holiness And Sacredness.

Often When Religious Leaders Come Together, They Talk About A Particular Sexual Ethic, Or An Abstruse Doctrine, As Though This, Rather Than Compassion, Was The Test Of Spiritual Life.

The Study Of The Traditions Doesn't Necessarily Make You Want To Convert To Another Tradition, But It Helps You To See Your Own Differently And Expands Your Outlook.

Respect Only Has Meaning As Respect For Those With Whom I Do Not Agree.
