More Theological Humor and No Less Dirty in its own right.
MODERN WOMAN: Oh, Professor Oldteaser, I am profoundly disturbed about your class, Bible 101. You have destroyed my faith.
OLDTEASER: Good! Good! Sit down and tell me about it, Miss Awdy.
MODERN WOMAN: [Sobbing] I’ve begun to see that you are right. God died.
OLDTEASER: Yes. God is dead. That is what Nietzsche has taught us. He is the greatest prophet of the modern world. God is dead (Gott ist tot) — the German, you know. Theological language. It is very important to find the words relevant to our times. So many English words aren’t.
MODERN WOMAN: I see. I do admire the way you use all the languages, Western and Eastern. But [still sobbing], I think I’m losing my mind.
