Why do some people think in order to believe in God I have to be part of a religion? and when i show them this, and tell them this is how i feel about it, they get all bent out of shape about it.
Off of CSI
FATHER POWELL: I celebrate mass every Thursday night, 7:00.
GRISSOM: Thank you ... but ... (he shakes his head) ... no.
FATHER POWELL: You don't believe?
GRISSOM: In religion? I believe in God, in science ... in Sunday supper. I don't believe in rules that tell me how I should live.
FATHER POWELL: Even if they're handed down by God?
GRISSOM: How many crusades were fought in the name of God? How many people
died because of someone's religion?
FATHER POWELL: Fanaticism. Not religion.
GRISSOM: Semantics. They're still dead.
FATHER POWELL: You still suffer like a catholic.
FATHER POWELL: Light bulb goes out other people fix it, get a new one. Light bulb goes out for the Catholic he stands in the dark says, "What did I do wrong?"
GRISSOM: That guilt's not in me anymore.
