“I want you to know, when it comes to believing in God, I really tried. I really really tried. I tried to believe that there is a god who created each one of us in his own image and likeness, loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize...something is fucked up! Something is WRONG here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is NOT good work. If this is the best God can do, I am NOT impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful-ass a long time ago.” (George Carlin)

"Once more I would like to hear water murmur of earth. Once more I would like to touch a child to feel beyond today. Once more I would like to taste a tree's sap to remember the strength of spring. Once more I would like to see the color of happiness to know the deathman's song will please me. Then, O Earth, I shall be ready to return to you what little I have left from all the years of taking from you." (Chief Dan George)

[Rev. Rye]

Pretty sound advice, and it even holds if you don't have to deal with a white supremacist power structure that sees you as an existential threat (and the feeling is mutual!)
