  • Now I know! Be an atheist!

  • How about (take your unkowableness) magic? It's weird, weird things are often untrue, so I'll be a witch and be hated because I'm a magical man, you will think I'm an atheist, because I contradict the church I have my own religion, I will worship gods and change nature then I'll call it superbly natural. That is bullshit, do you see what I understand? It's not lies to decieve you, it's lies to show you the whole thing is bullshit!

  • What about Judaism? That's a good religion, if you want complete bullshit be a Jew. You're a fussy person, so I will invent my own fussiness, I won't eat blood, blood in an egg, ospreys, pigs, etc, because I don't like much food, everything I hate is evil, and I'll be quirky by talking religion all the time, I'm an arsehole, God is cheap then you'll know how ridiculous and what an arsehole you are!

  • What about religion as "simplicity"? That's a good one, I'll tell you what, if you find it complicated to explain something simple, I will make up a secularisation with a temple, you can't explain what this is, it's simple, I will write too many books and you'll know how simple it is! In other words, it's not simple, that's a good psychology (taoism).

  • Finally religion works because it turns you into not religious anymore, because you learned to stop being an anal delusional wanker.

  • Religion is not simply that kind of psychology, it's saying "if you make up your own truth i will have my own truth: i will turn water into wine to prove to you how delusional you are'. Religion is supposed to point out how stupid, silly or negative you are by being negative, silly and stupid itself, it wakes you up to realise the consequences of inventing ridiculous things, to challenge you not to believe in stupid things.

  • Also religion is stupid because it's a warning, it's psychology: you banish science so if I banish the intellect I'll show you just how negative that is! Religion isn't designed to be believed, it's psychology, it persuades you to believe to point out the negative consequences of false things and negativity. If I die on a cross, you will worship me, that's a psychology saying if you loved me I will be good and not die on a cross. Religion is psychology to do the opposite of what it says.

  • Do you know why religion is stupid? Because it's an insult to banishment. Instead of banishing in a nice way it banishes positive things. "Banish the intellectual, banish learning, we will benefit a hundredfold", it's a parody of banishment, it's making fun of the fact that people banish, so it gets ridiculous to be funny, making things up because religious inventors think making up their own things is funny!

  • People think I'm wise, that's surprising because my family is against what I enjoy. I'm only obsessed with making sense! And thinking the contrary of real perception does not make sense! I'm stealing the wisdom: my ambition is to relax with this very sincere philosophy. I was a child of nature and I was a charm, but my family is ungrateful of my kindness. I was never cute, I was cuteness damaged by a gorilla (a human being), humans are not human, they're brats, and gorillas who hate their son.
