    How much atonement is enough?

    When civil fury first grew high,
    And men fell out, they knew not why;
    When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
    Set folks together by the ears,
    And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
    For Dame Religion, as for punk;
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    Jesus said to his Jews: “The law was for servants—love God as I love him, as his son! What are morals to us sons of God!”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
