Well…thanks. But I don't like to make assumptions." "Well that's too bad, because you're running on false ones." - Charles Stross

Never trust a man who thinks his religion gives him all the answers.

It was a lousy plan, the only thing to commend it being the fact that all the alternatives were worse.

What about religion?"
"Religion is power, to these people. And power is religion, of course. If you're a humble believer set on doing your deity's will, then what are you doing spending the take on Lamborghinis and single malt? The real believers are running soup kitchens and emptying bedpans, trying to do good while the televangelists preaching the prosperity gospel are doing it to keep up the payments on the McMansion and the Roller."
