- It's getting worse. `Verily I say unto you, [...] Whosoever sayeth to
- his brother, You dolt, shall be in danger of hell fire.' Remember
- where it says that -- or something to that effect? Too bad there is
- no hell fire in Colleenianity. Dinnae ken about Merittism.

- I know. This doesn't make it any less true.

- >I made that up,
-
- No, thou didst not make it up. It is true.
-
- >so it doesn't apply to me!
-
- The hell it doesn't. Thou hast pronounced judgement over thyself, and
- thou shalt suffer the consequences. And it's wailing and gnashing of
- teeth, gnashing of teeth, / And it's wailing and gnashing of teeth ...

-
- But I don't bloody want to look at it! It is bloody ugly!
-
- Besides, even if I do, what I see is a god who is put to temporary but
- gruesome death because of the way he made up the rules. See? This is
- not how religions work. Repent ere it is too late.
