Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sample these observations:So many religions out there! Religious affiliation is alottery ticket. The winning ticket, if there is one, will beannounced in the hereafter, if it exists.In a single male ejaculation, there are some 100 millionsperm cells. Since each cell carries a slightly differentgenetic makeup and would create a different person,each human being who ever lived won the lottery of life atodds of 100 million to one. And yet people complain ofbad luck.In a traditional, theocentric society, the four values of love,marriage, sex, and procreation come as part of a singlepackage.We moderns have unwrapped the package anddisassembled the toy.Statements like "I really love you!" and "You are beautiful!"are entrance fees. The Pill made prudence prudery. Humankind does not deserve itself.If you enjoy these, another 1500 like them await you inLANDMINES OF THE MIND. Sometimes amusing; oftenshocking; always thought-provoking.
