God must like to get off by Himself sometimes and caper. Must get mighty tiresome, keepin 'tally on folks and gettin' the sun up and tuckin 'it in bed and bringin' the rain on and all, and all the time actin 'stiff and proper. That surely was it, God must like to throw Himself around some and be silly if He felt like it.

I also believe in God, but I do not believe that he agrees to recklessness and indifference . . . He wants man to help himself.

Men speak on topics not be neutral as they Mnfredon, but literature and modesty and tenderness overflowing with all of them when they speak in the presence of some women . . . The men more paper, kindness and literature, while the presence of the opposite sex among them.

It's not a question of faith, but a question of reason and logic.
