If you're gonna burn a bridge behind you, make sure you've crossed it first.Quentin R. Bufogle

I wish all those who've found God, would tell the rest of us where he's been hiding.Quentin R. Bufogle

Writing is the dragon that lives underneath my floorboards. The one I incessantly feed for fear it may turn and devour my ass. Writing is the friend who doesn't return my phone calls; the itch I'm unable to scratch; a dinner invitation from a cannibal; elevator music for a narcoleptic. Writing is the hope of lifting all boats by pissing in the ocean. Writing isn't something that makes me happy like a good cup of coffee. It's just something I do because not writing, as I've found, is so much worse.Quentin R. Bufogle

Lately the muse has been treating me like Ike treated Tina.Quentin R. Bufogle

A little stupid is like a little forest fire. If you happen upon some stupid, please stomp it out before it spreads.Quentin R. Bufogle

The Catholic Church standing in "solidarity" with members of the LGBT community while condemning their behavior as "sinful" is a little like attempting to stand with two feet in one shoe. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" sounds really high-minded until you realize the only sin committed was being born different.Quentin R. Bufogle

Just a thought for all you God-fearin', gun-lovin', Bible-thumpin' 2nd Amendment patriots. If it turns out Heaven's a gun-free zone, what's plan B???Quentin R. Bufogle

God might not be dead, but he's sure as hell missing in action.Quentin R. Bufogle

99% of all problems can be solved by money -- and for the other 1% there's alcohol.Quentin R. Bufogle

A friend told me that one day he and I would be rich and famous. I told him that I'd trade my half of the fame, for his half of the money.Quentin R. Bufogle

What's this business about the 'little man in the canoe?' If it's big enough for a canoe, it's too big for me.Quentin R. Bufogle
12
Stop praying. Get off your knees and do something. There's only one particular need that can be effectively addressed while in the kneeling position. If yours pertains to anything else, then please, seek help elsewhere. 'God helps those who help themselves' is just the Church's way of telling you that it's all a sham. You're really on your own.Quentin R. Bufogle

I want an avowed atheist in the White House. When time comes to push that button, I want whoever's making the decision to understand that once it's pushed, it's over. Finito. They're not gonna have lunch with Jesus. Won't be deflowering 72 virgins on the great shag carpet of eternity, or reincarnated as a cow. I want someone making that decision who believes life on this Earth isn't just a dress rehearsal for something better -- but the only shot we get.Quentin R. Bufogle

The muse is fickle; ergo, when she knocks, ANSWER! It may take a while, but trust me, she WILL knock. In the meantime, keep your ear pressed firmly to the door.Quentin R. Bufogle
15
The difference between an atheist and a person of faith? One additional religion in the crazy column. You believe that all religions except yours are crazy. I believe that all religions including yours are crazy.Quentin R. Bufogle
16
Tolerance is NOT acceptance. And that's the problem with ALL religion. It teaches acceptance only for those who believe exactly as you do, and at best, tolerance for the rest of us "sinners." Sorry. Not acceptable.Quentin R. Bufogle
17
God doesn't send atheists to Hell -- there's no room with all the Christians down there.Quentin R. Bufogle
18
I believe a Christian muffler shop owner should have the same right to refuse service to a gay couple, as a gay lifeguard has to refuse service to a drowning Christian.Quentin R. Bufogle
19
Religious freedom doesn't include the freedom to disregard the law and restrict another's freedom to believe and act differently. No one's forcing Catholic nuns to practice birth control, or priests to wear condoms (good idea tho). If you really feel your religious beliefs conflict with the mandates of running a business, the solution is simple: Get your ass out of the boardroom and back to the pulpit (where it belongs).Quentin R. Bufogle

If Heaven actually exists, I don't need anyone to be my real estate broker. After all, what is religion but an attempt to sell you a share in the ultimate gated community?Quentin R. Bufogle
