“"You don't believe in God," I said to Stein. "God is a word banging around in the human nervous system. He exists about as much as Santa Claus." "Santa Claus has had a tremendous influence, exist or not." "For children." "Lots of saints have died for God with a courage that's hardly childish." "That's part of the horror. It's all a fantasy. It's all for nothing."” BelieveHumansChildrenSaidFantasyAtheismInfluenceHorrorDiedDon't BelieveSaintPositive AtheismNervousBelieve In GodSantaSanta ClausNervous SystemBanging Book:The Blood of the Lamb: A Novel Source: The Blood of the Lamb: A Novel
“"You ought to be ashamed," a woman in an Easter bonnet told Stein. "Your race gave us our religion..." "From ancient polytheism, the belief in lots of gods," the woman continued a little more eruditely, "the Hebrew nation led us on to the idea that there is only one." "Which is just a step from the truth," said Stein.” LittlesSaidIdeasBeliefNationsRaceStepsAtheismOughtAncientPositive AtheismAshamedEasterHebrewBonnetsPolytheism Book:The Blood of the Lamb: A Novel Source: The Blood of the Lamb: A Novel
