"Religion says: Do this! --- Think like that!--- but it cannot justify it, and if it tries to, it becomes repellent, because for every reason it offers there is a valid counter reason...you feel you were being cheated, that someone [a sneaky theodicist] was trying to convince you by trickery."
-Wittgenstein
"And neither shall we tolerate that swindle which the believers are guilty of when they call and act 'a most shameful crime,' 'a most irreparable infamy,' as long as it is done by a man, but an 'act of inscrutable love' if God is its author. Either one or the other: the same law and the same sentence, but not the same law and different sentences." (no half-assed anthropomorphising people!)
