"The first idea merely supposes that there is something we don't know about, and God knows there are enough of those. The second, however, runs contrary to something fundamental and human which we do know about. We should therefore be very suspicious of it and all its specious rationality."

I always think of this quote when it comes to organized religion, most particularly Jos. Smith.

"briefly did therapy, but after a while, I realised it is just like a farmer complaining about the weather. You can't fix the weather - you just have to get on with it."

Love the way you put that.

I have had some very odd brushes with therapy for some very odd reasons and found the same.
