A pagan is a natural human being.
He needs no religion.
It has not any utility, it will be just useless junk.
There is nowhere to go, nothing to achieve.
Every religious person is a religionless man.
Only those who are religionless in the sense that they don't need religion, are fulfilled. If you need religion something is wrong with you.
If you need God something is really very very wrong with you; otherwise what are you going to do with God? Have you ever thought that if by chance you meet God ....
Tell me, what will you do if you by chance meet God? What is your next program? You will look silly, God will look silly; and once you have found God then your life will be pointless. That's why nobody ever finds God. Life remains a searching, a seeking.
God is like the horizon: it seems to be just there, so close; it is meeting the earth, the sky is meeting the earth. You go on and on and on, but the distance between you and the horizon remains exactly the same. As you move, the horizon goes on moving away from you. The horizon does not exist, it only appears to.
And remember, appearance is not reality. The sky and the earth meet nowhere. It is an illusion.
God does not exist. But the hungry, starving, unfulfilled, discontented human mind wants something there -- close enough so that you can believe in it; and yet, however, whatever way you try to reach it, the distance remains the same.
"God" is as distant from Judas as it is from Jesus, equally distant -- because it is a horizon. It doesn't matter if you are a Judas or a Jesus: "God" is as far away from the greatest criminal of the world as it is from the greatest saint of the world. It doesn't matter because it doesn't exist, it is simply a horizon point. That horizon point is called religion.
You need it if you are not fulfilled here and now.
If you are fulfilled here and now, who bothers about the horizon?
Religion is the need of the sick mind -- a pagan is not sick.
Religion is not his need, but religion is his gift to existence.
And only a man who does not need religion can give. If you yourself are in need, how can you give it?
