"Terry Carr, the Ace paperback editor, used to joke that if the Bible
had been published as science fiction, it would have had to be cut down
to two volumes of twenty thousand words each; the Old Testament would
have been retitled 'Master of Chaos' and the New Testament 'The Thing
with Three Souls'."

(Emmanuel Carrère: I Am Alive And You Are Dead, chapter 2)


I really like American humor of this kind.
Actually this saved my day.
