"Today, Master, the new Greek government was sworn in by the action of some archbishop."
"Such is the power of superstition. When 3000 years after the
Troy War, the gods are still on the Olympus, when theogonies are
still rife, then forget about science, progress, sanity, in other
words forget that what is basic to ideation, to Mind, i.e. Control of Reality
as far as possible. For the rest, just adapt. But
these Greeks are not unique. All countries have some form of
'Oath'. In England as is said, you have no right to give evidence
in court when you do not believe in a kingdom hereafter in which
things go bad for you when you lied (Mill, Logics). You see, we
are outcasts because we 'Think', and 'Free' at that. In the country of the
blind, the sighted is a rogue, a nought. Be content
with that."
