A Drop Of Water Is Not Immortal;

I Do Not Pretend To Be Able To Prove That There Is No God. I Equally Cannot Prove That Satan Is A Fiction. The Christian God May Exist; So May The Gods Of Olympus, Or Of Ancient Egypt, Or Of Babylon.

Thought Is Merciless To Privilege, Established Institutions, And Comfortable Habit.
