Famous Unitarian Thomas Paine Kicks *Certified* Risk Management Consultant James C. Key aka UUA Moderator Jim "See No Evil" Key In His Big Fat U*U Balls
With a little bit of help from former POTUS William Jefferson Clinton. . .
In this "annotated" Thomas Paine quotation:
"Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental* lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime."
* It depends upon what the meaning of the word mental is.
