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 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?
