Paul Erdős - SF means Supreme Fascist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qeWugmiGt4 <br class="br">Context: SF means Supreme Fascist — this would show that God is bad. I don't claim that this is correct, or that God exists, but it is just sort of half a joke. … As a joke I said, "What is the purpose of Life?" "Proof and conjecture, and keep the SF's score low."<br>Now, the game with the SF is defined as follows:<br>If you do something bad the SF gets at least two points.<br>If you don't do something good which you could have done, the SF gets at least one point.<br>And if nothing — if you are okay, then no one gets any point.<br>And the aim is to keep the SF's score low.

“They're correct that a god picked out the material; they just have the wrong god doing it.”
Sheri S. Tepper (1929–2016) American fiction writer
The Visitor (2002)
Context: Not many years before the Happening, one of your country's largest religious bodies officially declared that their book was holier than their God, thus simultaneously and corporately breaking several commandments of their own religion, particularly the first one. Of course they liked the book better! It was full of magic and contradictions that they could quote to reinforce their bigoted and hateful opinions, as I well know, for I chose many parts of it from among the scrolls and epistles that were lying around in caves here and there. They're correct that a god picked out the material; they just have the wrong god doing it.
