"At times in my life I've been an atheist, a Bible study teacher, a
lover of quantum mechanics, and a believer that the universe is
older and vaster than anything I could imagine. This book reflects
the paradox of being a human interested in anything that might be
divine."
-- Moby, musician and recording artist "Insightful, refreshing,
serious, humorous, and enjoyable, There Is No God and He Is Always
with You takes a deep dive into the actual meaning of the word God
and how it can be as useful for Zen Buddhists and atheists as for
monotheists."
-- David Chadwick, author of Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen
Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki "Brad Warner frames Buddhism with
something that touches my soul on the very deepest level --
humor!"
-- Vicky Jenson, director of Shrek and Shark Tale
