2001 — “I can’t believe in a god that would send people to hell.”
2009 — “I can’t believe in a God who cares about me. That God is impossible.”
2009 — “If there is a God I would like to punch him in the face.”
2013 — “I’m glad some people have that faith. I don’t have that faith. If there is a God … then we have to figure he’s done an extraordinary job of making a very cruel world.”
2022 — “I’m not anti-Christian or anti-religion, but the way people use Christianity to write public policy is very dangerous rhetoric … as soon as morality becomes a tool to exclude people, things begin to crumble.”
