“’Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous.’” — Frank Herbert

There was a man so wise

He jumped into

A sandy place

And burnt out both his eyes!

And when he knew his eyes were gone,

He offered no complaint.

He summoned up a vision

And made himself a saint.

“’Rulers are notoriously cynical where religions are concerned. Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?’”

What is more ridiculous than a Death Commando transformed into a priest?
