“You can believe something really hard,' Faith says, 'and still be wrong.”

“Those who translate Pistis by "Faith," are utterly wrong. The word "faith" as grace or something to be believed in through unreasoned or blind faith, is a word that dates only since Christianity.”

“But what really matters is not what you believe but the faith and conviction with which you believe…”

“What if everything you believe is wrong and you could still be loved and still be forgiven?”

“If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you.”

“The problem is that people think faith is something to be admired. In fact, faith means you believe in something for which you have no evidence.”

“I can read ideas from all different people from all different cultures. Without God, we can agree on reality, and I can keep learning where I'm wrong. We can all keep adjusting, so we can really communicate. I don't travel in circles where people say, "I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith." That's just a long-winded religious way to say, "shut up," or another two words that the FCC likes less.”

“Faith is believing in something you know isn't true.”

“When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates.”

“Work hard, do the best you can, don't ever lose faith in yourself and take no notice of what other people say about you.”
