You've got to try really, reeeeeally hard. I'd drink, but it gives me a headache. It's a tragedy, really. I was thinking I ought to convert to some religion in which it's a virtue so's it's not a total loss. no, no, no......
"The fact, however, that threats of Hell have their social uses is not an argument in favor of the truth of religion; it is simply an argument against the human race. More, it is probably libellous, for the overwhelming majority of men and women are not nearly so vicious as the fancy of theologians makes them out [to be]. Very few men, if Hell were proved to be a fiction tomorrow, would take to the highroad and cut throats, and very few women would turn drabs." |
