Chapter Fifty Seven: Kill, Kill, Kill

Well, I love fishing. I wouldn't kill a fly myself

but I've no hesitation in killing a fish.

A lot of men are like that. No bother.

Out you come. Thump.

And that's not the only reason.

Norman MacCaig

It's bad enough wasting time

without killing it.

Killing isn't free. It takes something out

of you every time you do it. You get their life;

they get a piece of your soul.

It's always a trade.

Religious fundamentalism, even before it

eliminates human beings by perpetuating

horrendous killings, eliminates God himself,

turning him into a mere ideological pretext.

Pope Francis

iIi

And so it is with us;

we serve as handmaidens of Death.

When we are guided by His will,

killing is a sacrament.

Chemotherapy is brutal.

The goal is pretty much to kill everything

in your body without killing you.

I decided I wanted out because it was

killing me, and I couldn't see where to go

with it that wouldn't be fatal.

Richard Hell

iIi

Religious war at its simplest is killing

each other over who has the best

imaginary friend.

Murderers very often start out

 by killing and torturing animals as kids.

myself, because it wouldn't

have achieved anything.
