Biography

Cuttlefish are shy and elusive creatures; when necessary, they hide in their own ink. This particular cuttlefish has chosen as its habitat the comment threads of science, religion, and news sites, where it feeds on the opinions of those who are emboldened by the cloak of internet anonymity. Cuttlefish is an atheist and a skeptic, and is madly, passionately in love with science.

Belief In Satan Leads To Terrible Things… In Priests.

by

It isn’t just God that believers believe in— There are angels and demons as well; But I don’t really think there’s a Devil at all So I guess I’ll be heading for Hell There’s a priest who believes that he’s figured us out; Though his logic’s a little bit odd; Not believing in Satan (he …

Unless there is reason (most often, there’s not) To suspect that the cause is insanity, You’re dissing the mentally ill with your slight, But the group …
