“It is all beginning to make sense; the gifts he gives like offerings, the golden temple of a Miami house. Oracles, orgies, lusty Greek and Roman gods, apples and pomegranates. Ceremonial robes as designed be Versace. The candles, the incense.” ReligionWealth Book:Sugar, Baby Source: Sugar, Baby
“A woman is praying beside me. I would really like to be able to believe like that, I would like to be able to feel something when I pray but I don't. Maybe looking for God is just looking for something to be in awe of, something to tremble before, a standard to uphold. Perhaps religion is a way of punishing oneself, a manifestation of the shame built into the human experience.” ReligionChurchPrayerReligious TraumaReligious Guilt Book:Sugar, Baby Source: Sugar, Baby
