To St. Paul, stripes, stones, shipwrecks, and
thorns in the flesh were religious experiences; to Judas Iscariot,
the daily companionship of Jesus of Nazareth was not.
"You have a combination of legitimate and
deeply foul religious objection with political opportunism and
part of this growing problem between the western world and Islamic world."

something that people call God.
Ishwar Se Kuch Maangne Par Na Mile To Usse Naraz Na Hona..
Kyoki Ishwar Vah Nahi Nahi Deta Jo Aapko Accha Lagta Hai
Balki
Vah deta Hai Jo Aapke Liye Accha Hota Hai..
There come times when I have nothing more to tell God.
If I were to continue to pray in words,
I would have to repeat what I have already said.
At such times it is wonderful to say to God,
May I be in Thy presence, Lord?
I have nothing more to say to Thee, but
do love to be in Thy presence."
God has editing rights over our prayers.
He will... edit them, correct them,
bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.
"One of the things that really interested me about
this script was the whole idea of personal demons
versus religious demons, and how differently things can be perceived."
God is a child who amuses himself,
going from laughing to crying for no reason,
each day reinventing the world to the chagrin
if hair-splitters, pedants, and preachers,
who try to teach God his job as Creator.
