“It’s time we take the leap across the infectious carcass of nationalism and rise as patriots of humanity - as patriots of a planet and not of any nation, religion or language. And you can take that leap, only if you have an indomitable sense of oneness with all of humankind.”

“Religion has no power if God is not truly 'dangerous,' but religion also seeks to manage God, and make God safe. The second commandment speaks against the management of God. We cannot help but make our images of God, for God has given us imagination. But every image we make of God is finally a box: a cage, potentially an idol, from which the living God keeps breaking out. And if we try to keep God there, then God comes out with 'jealousy' to overturn our careful construction. The third commandment speaks against the management of God. To take God's name in vain is to make God useful to our projects and ourselves. We are wont to trivialize the truth of God and then disparage it for being trivial. We are told God's name in order to love this God, but loving God is not managing God but fearing [respecting] God. And with God, the attitudes of love and fear [respect] are not contradictory but complementary.”

“Real Third World (The Sonnet) Third world countries are not, Those from Asia and Africa. Some of the real third world countries, Are our United States and Russia. It is behavior that makes the person, It is behavior that makes the nation. Worth of a nation lies not in currency, But in their sense of assimilation. A civilized nation doesn't say, We are the greatest nation on earth. Only the underdeveloped yells around, We are the nation supreme, all others are dirt. A first world country is born of first world citizens. A citizen becomes first world by defying all divisions.”
