we’ll talk God, if you like

it may still be possible to find men of God who are also good men

rare but possible

men of true stature whatever else their failings

but religion must give up the claim that only human beings with a central church can have a moral center

if my dog doesn’t misbehave simply because I will beat him if he does

I may trust that the dog will not misbehave

but I cannot trust the dog
