“The most preposterous notion that humankind has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoation of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest and least productive industry in all history.”
The only problem I have with the above quote is that assigning a gender to the Lord God of Creation, etc. is ridiculous to the extreme.
