Seriously

If one were to take the bible seriously 

one would go mad. 

But to take the bible seriously, 

one must be already mad.

— Aleister Crowley

Neighbourly

The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbour 

and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. 

It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.

 — Aleister Crowley
