“I'm employed by the universe. Since everywhere I go is the universe, I am always secure. Life has flourished for billions of years like this. I never knew such security before I gave up money. Wealth is what we are dependent upon for security. My wealth never leaves me. Do you think Bill Gates is more secure than I?” WealthMoneyPovertySecurityLetting GoEmploymentLive In The MomentHomelessness20122009Suelo Book:The Man Who Quit Money Source: The Man Who Quit Money
“Wasn't that what Jesus said: do what I do? He was here as an example for us to follow. Same with all prophets. Didn't the prophets tell us to be like them? That's what's wrong with Christianity. They make Jesus and the prophets into icons, take them off of earth, and put them in heaven to worship them, so they're no longer accessible. You've taken a reality and made it into a worthless idol. Christians talk about the idolatry of other religions, but when they no longer live principles and just worship the people who taught them, that's exactly what they're doing.” PovertyHypocrisyIdolatryAsceticismChristian Nation2012American ChristianityDo As God Would Do Book:The Man Who Quit Money Source: The Man Who Quit Money

I really don't know what I'll do and I don't think about it that much.” WorryPathLetting GoHealthcareLive In The Moment2012Planning For The Future Book:The Man Who Quit Money Source: The Man Who Quit Money

“Cultures the world over consider their staple the incarnation of God: Buffalo for the Cheyenne, Corn for the Hopi, Cattle for the Massai, Wheat (bread) for the Christians. What I've seen about hunting and gathering peoples, they are the only ones who can fully grasp and accept the Holy Communion. (Funny how we think we have to cram our little wafers down their throats.)
