Religious texts are meaningless. That is why they are deeply meaningful.
Religious truths are ever-changing, endlessly adaptable. That is why they are timeless and immutable.
Religions promise Everything. That is why they do not have to deliver.
Religious insights are inexpressible. That is why believers never stop talking.
The gods are absurd. That is why they are immortal.

Good stuff. Zen starts from the premise of "Shut up!", which is why, after years of reading about world religions, I tossed out the books.
Towers of Babble indeed. And it is All. Right. Here. Now.
Fun aphorisms, but evidence seems to point at the fact that most successful myths are remembered and spread best if most of the myth makes sense except for a few salient points.
