I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.
I awake with a not entirely sickened knowledge that I am merely young again and in a funny way at peace an observer who is aware of time's chariot aware that some metamorphosis has occurred.
I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs.
Going through the grief period of my dad and losing him - that was the worst thing because you know when you get that call. When you are seven eight years old you have that almost vision in your mind of what that's going to be like and what your going to feel like and it doesn't prepare you.
