Milton: Guilt...it's like a bag of fucking bricks. All you got to do...is set it down. Let it go.
Lomax: I can't do that.
Milton: Who are you carrying all those bricks for? God? Is that it? I'll tell you. Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do? I swear for His own amusement, His own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time! Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Aha! And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!
Lomax: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven"...is that it?
Milton: Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began! I've nurtured every sensation man has been inspired to have! I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him! Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections! I'm a fan of man! I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.

:D "better to reign in hell then to serve in heaven"...are one of my fav lines...
as in Milton's "paradise lost", we c the tussle b/w God n Satan...aha! at least Satan seems fair,incarnated for Gods own plans, he suffers from that tag even now...
God's actually a prankster...
