Yet is not the egotism that is present in celebrating the most Godlike trait in man, his intelligence, more forgivable and less blinding than ...
- 232: The Errancy Of Fundamentalism
- ... something which cannot be understood when it is possible to opt for the alternative: to believe only in things which are understandable. So where does this leave one? Clearly, with some useful knowledge, viz., that Christianity is false. It is then advisable for one to proceed by analysing the larger issue, if theism is true or false.

- 233: Satanism 2
- ... reality that man is an animal, like all others. They choose to separate themselves from a society where natural behavior is suppressed and the strong support the weak. The average Satanist disagrees with much of Christianity. In many ways Christians are considered the enimies. Christians say Satan is a fallen angel, not a God. All religions have gods and demons, some of which are forbidden by a typical society. Satan is one among these, originally conceived by the Hebrews, long before the birth of Jesus.

- ... there is no evidence, there arent any creatures with half-grown noses, one eye, or no lips. This so-called conclusive evidence just isnt so.

Now this does seem to be completely pointless, except for the point that they were here since 270,183 BC, and that therefore the Christianity is only something relatively new, and still carries some of the basic ancient religions.
