Gods always behave like the people who make them.

Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.

All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.

The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.

Anybody depending on somebody else's gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.

No man may make another free.
