Personal Quote:

I said to this priest, "Am I expected to believe that if I went out and had an affair that God was really going to be upset? Okay, thou shalt not kill . . . steal . . . but thou shalt not commit adultery? If no one is any the wiser, what the hell difference does it make?" He was lovely. He told me the Commandments were laid down for a lot of guys living in the desert. See more »
