    Just a few months ago Pope the Polack brought a
    new sin into the world; it has never existed before.
    The new sin, he has declared, is confessing to
    God directly.

    You have to confess through the right channel,
    through the Catholic priest, because if you start
    making direct phone calls to God, what is the
    purpose of the priest and what is the purpose of
    the pope? Their purpose is to stand in between
    you and God. And the problem is, there is no
    God; it is their invention. So naturally they have to
    stand in between to hide the fiction. If they remove
    themselves... if you remove all the priests, all the
    gods will disappear. They are created by man.

    The Bible says God created man in his own
    image. It is absolute nonsense. On the contrary, it
    can be said that man created all the gods in his
    own image. Just fictions. And from those gods
    descend paigambaras, prophets, tirthankaras,
    avataras, messiahs, Christs.

    The simple fiction of God is so reproductive that it
    creates a thousand and one fictions, and man is
    surrounded by a fictitious world in which only the
    vested interests are benefited. The whole of
    humanity is crushed, sacrificed to ideas which
    have no existence at all...
