Idée d’jour

I think all religions are trying to approach the same mystery, and that there are different religions for the same reason that there are different cuisines.... What I find interesting, though, is that religions always tell stories. Religions always have characters and the characters tell tales.... So that's what's interesting about people with religious faith — they interpret life through a story.
