The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history.Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Well worth repeating. At least prostitutes provide a service.

Gosh, what a whiny ignorant little fella. nothing He said is factual- but by golly, the vitriol in his lame imature statements really tickles ye old funny bone eh?
Good example.
Doesn't make sense does it. Which makes the objective observer suspect the premises Mr Heinlein asserts are incorrect. The thrust of the argument being simply an expression of open bigotry at the success of a different world view. The willful ignorance of Christian theology being self evident in Mr Heinlein's petulant misstatements about it.
Don't get me wrong, I do think Mr Heinlein was an excellent sci-fi/soft-porn author.
