Character: Benjamin

- ... The Church needs people like you.
- You don't know what kind of person I am.
- I know. I see! Are you one of those who live for the faith.
- I don't live for the sake of faith, I get to die for her.
- Here, the Golden words. But so once to die do not have. There are many ways to serve God.
- Well, you know that it is not. You are well settled, Yes? You know that other religions scoff at us because of this? What other religions have the warriors of faith, suicides, martyrs who gave their lives for their faith. Nothing like today does not make one a Christian. And all because you do not read the Bible. You blinded yourself such a comfortable God who forgives everything and calmed down. And the Lord says: "do Not think that I came to bring peace on earth; not peace I have come to bring, but a sword, for I came to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes - his own household." And more! "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." So we are not talking at all about how to live for the faith. The Lord has us on another plan when he says: "the Fire has come I to reduce on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!"
- Well, you're absolutely right, Venya! And that's why you're the person we need.
- For what?
- For what? Well... I would like that you start to read this here pamphlet.
I don't need pamphlets, I have the Bible and it is the sword that passes through people. Some stand, others fall.
- Here! Here, come, talk, listen to the sermon.
- The sermon!?
Yes.
- Well, if we are to preach, in Chechnya or Afghanistan.
- Venja venja..., well, you'll be killed on the first day.
- But it doesn't matter. "He who would give his life for my sake will save it".
- Well, how many souls you got? Two? Three? And there are thousands of us. You know? Millions.
- This is not a bill and the soul is not currency. In heavens more pleasure will be about one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

- I wonder how must feel the person who should judge?
<...>
Every day, examining the sins of others, remember your own.

It's a shame to know that in your pain you blame yourself and nobody else.

Great! Great! I was particularly moved by the point about children! How wonderful to conceive a child closer to his own death, so that, God forbid, do not put the asshole on his feet! And how wonderful it is to thump with your friends on the background of diabetes and prostatitis... No! No! No! On the background of the mortgage, which, if God forbid that - to give his wife.

Atheism - good philosophy! Shat - and in eternal darkness!

Amazing! These are the same people, just like fish oil. Like all right, even useful, but how disgusting!

It is not necessary in human sardines to throw if it does not meet your idea of the word "Holy."

The world is not as bad as you think; and the people who made the mistake are people.

But, gentlemen of the jury, tell me, where ends with the reflex, on which we can SWAT a mosquito or fly and the killing starts? And I'll tell you... Murder begins where there is a soul!

- This miserable little planet, Centauri - earth, and now zoologists pulled, grinned Benjamin.

- Alright, - breathless, optimistic said Benjamin. - The farther from town, the quieter and the air cleaner.
And the beast nepugannaya! - happily picked up Pauline.

But it was impossible to leave such an outrage unpunished! <...>
The captain sympathetically patted his friend on the shoulder, like a little boy who believes in law, justice, civil duty and spider-Man.

- We will lose.
- Don't die before their time.

You know, all this: the tan, the muscles, the ears... All this garbage. The suit, which hides the present.
