But what is so dangerous laughter, venerable Jorge?
- Laughter kills fear and without fear there is no faith. Because who is not afraid of the devil, that does not need God.

Having an enemy is important not only to define their own identity, but also that there was a reason to test our values and to demonstrate them to others. So, when there is no enemy, it should create.

...for every complex problem has a simple solution, and it's the wrong decision.

The whole history of logic is reduced to the generation of an acceptable concept of stupidity. It is too big. Every great thinker - the mouthpiece of the stupidity of another.

Tumbling in the void, you can persuade ourselves that are in communication with a common; but as soon as you started messing around with clay, even if it is electronic, you - the demiurge, and there's no escape, and who is going to create the world, the inevitable is already tainted by the errors and evil...

Our world grows old.

You see, when you want to defend the simpletons, the ban should strengthen risk: make sure those who violate, something terrible's gonna happen, most likely beyond.

Oh what a wonderful idea. View Matthew, Luke, mark and John - the company of idlers gathered at the party, they arrange a competition, invent the main character, brief talk about the story - and forward. The rest depends on the abilities of each. Then four options to deal with the entire team for the seminar. Matthew is fairly realistic, but compressed by the line of Messiahship. Mark - very nice but out of tune, Luke writes best of all, it is impossible not to admit it, John, the bias in the philosophical side... In General, the seminar join, and others take to read their coursework, when they understand what all happened, it's too late, Paul had already traveled to Damascus, Pliny began its investigation on behalf of the Emperor concerned, the Legion of writers of the Apocrypha pretend that they know enough... the reader-the Apocrypha, my brother and my DoppelgangeR... Peter takes too much himself in the head and overly serious about themselves, John is threatening to tell everything as it really was, Peter and Paul adjust to his arrest, chained on the island of Patmos, and the poor woman starts hallucinating, the grasshopper sits on the headboard of the bed - remove the locusts, plug the pipes, where so much blood... begin to praise Him: drunk, memento... if That really was the case?

I am sure that a serious scientist investigating the laws of nature or of human society, fail to keep faith, for everything will dissuade him acquired in childhood dogmas.

Everywhere I sought rest and in only one place, found him in a corner with a book.

Yes, there is lust, pain, as well as lust faith and even a lust for humility. If angels are so few rebels had enough fire of adoration and humility became in them the fire of pride and rebellion that talking about the weak human race? Well, I told you what kind of thoughts have troubled me in the conduct of the investigation. Because of them I have resigned. Didn't have the courage to pursue the weakness of sinners, as long as they have the same weakness among the saints.

"You're a devil," said Wilhelm.
Jorge seemed not to understand. If he were sighted, I could tell that he was shocked and stared at him. "Am I?" - he asked.
"You. You cheated. The devil is not a victory of the flesh. The devil is arrogance of spirit. This belief without a smile. It is a truth never to be questioned. The devil is grim because he knows where to go - it always comes back where you came."

I love television and believe that there is not a single serious scholar who would not like to watch TV. Maybe I'm just the only one who is not afraid to admit it.

The moral: there exist obsessive ideas; they have no owner; books talk among themselves, and present a judicial inquiry should prove that the perpetrators - we.
