Fatuous Letter to the Editor

Here is a fatuous letter to the editor, published in the Princeton Alumni Weekly.

The author claims "Life is like a great stage. Besides myriad performers, there are two principal ones. The crucial choice in life is how to specify them as to their order and manner of spelling. One choice is “Me, god.” The other is “God, me.” My theory is that this choice determines one’s choice of ethics."

But what if your choice is "Family, students, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and me" and "god" doesn't even figure at all?

If you're god-soaked, you think everyone else spends all their time thinking about your god. But you're wrong.
