I Persist In Preferring Philosophers To Rabbis Priests Imams Ayatollahs And Mullahs. Rather Than Trust Their Theological Hocus-pocus I Prefer To Draw On Alternatives To The Dominant Philosophical Historiography: The Laughers Materialists Radicals Cynics Hedonists Atheists Sensualists Voluptuaries. They Know That There Is Only One World And That Promotion Of An Afterlife Deprives Us Of The Enjoyment And Benefit Of The Only One There Is. A Genuinely Deadly Sin.
