  1. Karen Traviss _ Halo: The Thursday War

    I refuse to believe that gods want to make mortals unhappy and torment them. That's what humans do. And humans are very definitely not divine.

  2. Dan Brown _ Angels & Demons

    Leonardo believed his research had the potential to convert millions to a more spiritual life. Last year he categorically proved the existence of an energy force that unites us all. He actually demonstrated that we are all physically connected… that the molecules in your body are intertwined with the molecules in mine… that there is a single force moving within all of us." Langdon felt disconcerted. And the power of God shall unite us all. "Mr. Vetra actually found a way to demonstrate that particles are connected?" "Conclusive evidence. A recent Scientific American article hailed New Physics as a surer path to God than religion itself.

  3. Mario Puzo _ The Family

    El mayor de todos los males es el poder_ contestó el sumo pontífice_, y es nuestro deber borrar cualquier deseo de poder de los corazones y las almas de los hombres. Ésa es la mision de la Iglesia, pues es la lucha por el poder lo que hace que los hombres se enfrentan unos a otros. Ahí radica el mal de nuestro mundo; siempre será un mundo injusto, siempre será un mundo cruel para los menos afortunados. Quién sabe,,, Es posible que dentro de quinientos años los hombres dejen de matarse entre sí. Feliz día será aquel en el que ocurra. Pero el poder forma parte de la misma naturaleza del hombre. Igual que forma parte de la naturaleza de la sociedad que, para mantener unidos a sus súbditos, por el bien de su Dios y d su nación, un rey tenga que mandar ahorcar a quienes no obedezcan su ley. ¿Pues cómo, si no, podría doblegar la voluntad de su súbditos? Además, no debemos olvidar que la naturaleza humana es tan insondable como el mundo que nos acoge y que no todos los demonios temen el agua bendita.

  4. Mario Puzo _ The Sicilian

    He said to the cardinal, "I'm a peasant, not instructed in the ways of heaven. But I have never broken my word. And you, a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, with all your holy garments and crosses of Jesus, lied to me like a heathen Moor. Your sacred office alone will not save your life.

  5. Dennis Lehane _ A Drink Before the War

    I believe in God. Maybe not the Catholic God or even the Christian one because I have a hard time seeing any God as elitist. I also have a hard time believing that anything that created rain forests and oceans and an infinite universe would, in the same process, create something as unnatural as humanity in its own image. I believe in God, but not as a he or she or an it, but as something that defines my ability to conceptualize within the rather paltry frames of reference I have on hand.

  6. Adrian McKinty _ The Cold Cold Ground

    Human beings are pattern-seeking animals. It's part of our DNA. That's why conspiracy theories and gods are so popular: we always look for the wider, bigger explanations for things.

  7. Michael Marshall Smith _ One of Us

    The angel we named God banned representations of himself, even the writing of his name, trying to halt the process of literalization-but in the end it became inevitable. The angel found himself at the head of a corporation, run by Young Turks who wouldn't respect the line management structure: They rewrote his memos to make the law more rigorous, more confined, more human. He got ousted in a boardroom coup and kicked upstairs. He hadn't realized the power of corporeality, that the minds of men would of necessity alter the mind of their God. Being a deity meant taking on a lot of your subjects' qualities-both profound and trivial.

    I guess, like some guy once said, if triangles invented a god, the chances are high it would have three sides.

  9. Jon Krakauer _ Under the Banner of Heaven: A

    I {Lorna Craig} would say that teaching a girl that her salvation depends on her having sexual relations with a married man is inherently destructive." Such relationships, Craig argues bitterly, should be considered "a crime, not a religion.

  10. Jon Krakauer _ Under the Banner of Heaven: A

    But perhaps the greatest attraction of Mormonism was the promise that each follower would be granted an extraordinarily intimate relationship with God. Joseph taught and encouraged his adherents to receive personal communiqués straight from the Lord. Divine revelation formed the bedrock of the religion.

  12. Anonymous _ Holy Bible: King James Version

    Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
