Joseph Campbell Has some great quotes on religion...

Here are my favs:
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning

When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else

God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are


If you have never heard of him, you should read some of his stuff.
