More From Carl Hiaasen

I think that the bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. so i don't think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.
Hate Pride Thinking
Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.
Lying Fall Broken
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
There is no sin , and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of god . can there be a sin which could exceed the love of god?

Sin2 φ is odious to me, even though laplace made use of it; should it be feared that sin2 φ might become ambiguous, which would perhaps never occur, or at most very rarely when speaking of sin(φ2), well then, let us write (sin φ)2, but not sin2 φ, which by analogy should signify sin (sin φ)
Writing Use Analogies
Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo. oh, a sense of sin comes from violating the customs of your tribe. but breaking custom is not sin even when it feels so; sin is wronging another person.

The poet cannot invent new words every time, of course. he uses the words of the tribe. but the handling of the word, the accent, a new articulation, renew them.
Writing Use Tribes
The one path that never works is the most common one: doing nothing at all.
Doing Nothing Path Tribes
No tribe unites with another of its own free will.
Tribes Free Will
I am patrick, yes a sinner and indeed untaught; yet i am established here in ireland where i profess myself bishop. i am certain in my heart that 'all that i am,' i have received from god. so i live among barbarous tribes, a stranger and exile for the love of god.
Heart Bishops Tribes
