Sample these observations: *So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is a lottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will be announced in the hereafter, if there is one. *Assumptions are second-hand, cheaply bought certitudes; they are unearned truths. *In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 million sperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly different genetic makeup, each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life at odds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain of bad luck. *In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love, marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a single package. We moderns have unwrapped the package and disassembled the toy. *Statements like 'I really love you!" and 'You are beautiful!" are entrance fees. *To generalize is to take leave of one's senses. If you enjoy these, another thousand like them awaits you in LANDMINES OF THE MIND.
