I believe in those whom I love and trust. All else is foolishness. This god is as empty as his church. His followers choose to attribute all of their good fortune to him, but when he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he ignores their pleas or leaves them to suffer, they say only that he is beyond their understanding and abandon themselves to his will. What kind of god is that? .John Connolly

He believed that the only thing to believe in was the love of friends and family. Confucius believed that our actions influenced our destiny, so he believed it was best to trust your friends and family rather than the gods or the afterlife.
