It does not require a broad education to function as a social
and economic animal...
as long as you know when to rub blue mud in your bellybutton.
But a mistake in local customs
can get you lynched. -Alec

The supreme irony of life is that hardly
anyone gets out alive.

Paranoia. The delusion that the whole world is a conspiracy.
Only it's not a delusion. -Alec

Many theologians believe that no human social
organization
could stand up under the strain of absolute honesty.
If you think their misgivings are unfounded,
try telling your friends the ungarnished truth
about what you think of their offspring--if you dare risk it.

Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion
is monotheistic
can believe anything--just give him time to rationalize it.

"Uh... is this Texas? Or is it hell?"
" Matter of opinion."
"Is there a difference?"
"Hard to tell." (399)

Sex can involve sin,
surely-
-any human act can involve cruelty and injustice.
But sex alone held no taint of sin.

Theology is never any help;
it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight
for a black cat that isn't there. -Alec

'Justice' is not a divine concept; it is a human illusion. The
very basis of the Judeo-Christian code
is injustice, the scapegoat system.The scapegoat sacrifice runs
all through the Old Testament,
then it reaches its height in the New Testament with the notion
of the Martyred Redeemer.
How can justice possibly be served by loading your sins on another?
Whether it be a lamb
having its throat cut ritually, or a Messiah nailed to a cross
and 'dying for your sins.'
Somebody should tell all of Yahweh's followers, Jews and Christians,
that there is no
such thing a free lunch.

It was especially upsetting that Satan chose
at this moment to have the shape
and the voice of my only friend. Debating with the devil is
a mug's game at best.

Man, do not interrupt. Most of your errors - this My Brother
actively encourages -
arise from believing that your God is solitary and all
poweerful. In fact, My Brother -
and I, too, of course - is no more than a corporal in the T.
O. of the Commander in Chief.
And, I must add, the Great One I think of as the C-in-C,
the Chairman, the Final Power,
may be a mere private to some higher Power I cannot comprehend.
-Jerry Farnsworth (Satan)
