At last, my dear Veritas, here is my answer to your gospels printed in former issues of this paper. As far as I am concerned, you have succeeded in hanging yourself, but as others may not realise the many inconsistencies and terminological inexactitudes in your virulent and penny-a-line articles, I set them down below.

Here, then, is my proof of the necessity for Atheism. Firstly, if a Deity were to appear to us we should believe in Him once He had convinced us of His powers and goodness. But unfortunately the God of theologians is incapable of local visibility. We cannot, then, believe in God purely on the evidence of our senses.
