• Does religion fill a much needed gap? It is often said that there is a God-shaped gap in the brain which needs to be filled: we have a psychological need for God -- imaginary friend, father, big brother, confessor, confidant -- and the need has to be satisfied whether God really exists or not. But could it be that God clutters up a gap that we'd be better off filling with something else? Science, perhaps? Art? Human friendship? Humanism? Love of this life in the real world, giving no credence to other lives beyond the grave?

• There is within me a friend who consoles me every time that troubles overwhelm me and misfortunes afflict me.

For life streams out of man's inner self and in no way from what surrounds him.

  Khalil Gibran
