Somebody told me once that I couldn't talk about religion because I wasn't a religious man. I kept thinking for a moment, because he was right about something: I am a religious spirit, but not a religious man because my mind doesn't know about safety. Obviously, he was wrong about the rest. Sir – I wanted to answer, not without shyness –, if catholic priests have given marital advice since always and now they even give a sexual conduct class, why can't an atheist teach theology?"
