“To a loner it hardly seems possible-not even plausible- that millions could agree on what God likes and dislikes and whether pork or beef is verboten. How, we muse, can millions nod in unison approving the validity of liturgy? How can the unseen move so many strangers in the exact same way? Those millions-nonloners, of course- would say it moves them alike because it is real. They would say the unanimity by which it moves them proves it is real. Loners cannot help but suspect something else afoot, something pedestrian. We know nonloners learn by imitation. We know they shore up their self-esteem through imitation, through securing a sense of belonging. Nonloners thrive on this, so why would it not tint their view of heaven? Among nonloners, religion fends off loneliness, one of their greatest fears, both within the soul and without.”

“I found out a long time ago that the duty of the Church is not to save sinners but to make a man sin. It is the fear of the example of Christ that causes good men to turn bad. Follow the example of this man, the Church says, and you'll wind up on the cross just like he did. The promise of Heaven is pale indeed when a man has to die in order to achieve it.”
