-> ''Is it so terribly inconceivable to comprehend God with one's senses? Why does he hide in a cloud of half-promises and unseen miracles? How can we believe in the faithful when we lack faith? What will happen to us who want to believe, but can not? What about those who neither want to nor can believe? Why can't I kill God in me? Why does He live on in me in a humiliating way . . . despite my wanting to evict Him from my heart? Why is He, despite all, a mocking reality I can't be rid of?''

'''Bartleby:''' ''Wake up!'' These humans have besmirched everything He has bestowed upon them. He gave them paradise; they threw it away. He gave them this planet; they destroyed it. They were favoured best among all His endeavours, and some of them ''don't even believe he exists!'' And in spite of it all, He has shown them infinite fucking patience at every turn. What about us? I asked you, once, to lay down the sword -- because I felt ''sorry'' for them. Our expulsion from paradise! Where was his infinite fucking patience ''then?! It's not right! It's not FAIR!'' We've paid our debt! Don't you think it's time?\\

-->'''Quote by Aranfan:''' ''I was actually around for when Slade decided to start [[TheSalvationWar TSW]].

--> ''Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? ... But now, I no longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man.''
