Someone asked about my religion and—always the impetuous wise-ass—I replied, "The Church of the oly Quantum." Having said that, I felt compelled to invent the Church, C_Q for short. These notes include general thoughts on religion and specific guidance if you want join C_Q.

The name of the Church is spelled with (or "W/H") to avoid choosing whether the Quantum is holy or the universe is wholly Quantum. Both may be true.

The Church of the oly Quantum

A church for all.

What Is Faith

God Blessed America

Why does the President say, "God Bless America?"

Prayer

What is the proper use of prayer? Hint: It is not to ask for things.

Civility

How should should we treat one another?

Serenity

How can we calm ourselves and be at peace?

Death Is …

Death is not what we may think it is
