The greatest pleasures of life
Chapter 56
Yes, what joy can possibly compare with the joy of knowing that someone else has gdied for you,
2In your place,
3So you won’t have to,
4And can just pretend to feel really grateful and obligated for the rest of your life,
5Because somebody all-powerful is taking care of all the details?
6Truly, this combines all the greatest pleasures of life into a single perfect package.
7First there is the pleasure of hgetting away with something you might have gotten nailed for yourself,
8So to speak.
9iSecond, there is the pleasure of watching somebody else endure pain and suffering and death,
10Somebody jbig and important, I might add,
11Which makes it even more pleasurable.
12Third, there is the ineffable pleasure of feeling like an kinsider,
13Because you got saved and not everyone else will.
14And finally, there is the truly great pleasure of lhating everyone who does not buy the whole story,
15Hook, line, and sinker.
