Freeman Dyson on religion

God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond our comprehension.

The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand.

We stand, in a manner of speaking, midway between the unpredictability of atoms and the unpredictability of God.

The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.
