If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves.

I guess the Democrats have to pretend to be more pious than the Republicans because they are under suspicion of not being.

I'm an inveterate fox and not a hedgehog, so I always think you should try everything.

The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.

Christians have always been fodder for comedians who have tended to portray them as anoraks - slightly clammy, beatifically smiley dullards with barely a personality between them.

People have this idea that the more pious and devout I am, the more successful I am. Which is very dangerous. If you look at faith in that way, you're bound to fail at both - spiritually and in your career.

People who can't be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.

I'm kind of kooky, but do I look like a religious nut?
