I know a man who has such a passion for proving that he will have no personal existence after death that he falls back on the position that he has no personal existence now.

He invokes Buddhism and says that all souls fade into each other; in order to prove that he cannot go to heaven he proves that he cannot go to Hartlepool.

I have known people who protested against religious education with arguments against any education, saying that the child's mind must grow freely or that the old must not teach the young.

I have known people who showed that there could be no divine judgment by showing that there can be no human judgment, even for practical purposes.

They burned their own corn to set fire to the church; they smashed their own tools to smash it; any stick was good enough to beat it with, though it were the last stick of their own dismembered furniture.
