Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.

Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense.

The whole principle (censorship) is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.

But I contend that the disgusting behavior of many of their alleged 'holy men' relieves us of any intellectual obligation to take the stuff seriously. No amount of sanctimonious rationalization can make such behavior anything but pathological.

God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good, and is no sillier than any other theology.

Every general prohibition creates its bootleggers.

Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo.
