About This Quote

Irony is the use of words or events that, on the surface, appear opposite to what they actually are. To understand irony, you have to understand the distinction between what people say and what they mean. When people say “I love you” or “I hate you,” they are really saying something else entirely. They are really saying that they don’t love you or hate you.

They are really saying that they are not actually loving or hating you. The same goes for all statements about religion. When someone says “God loves us all,” they are really saying that God doesn’t love them all.

They are really saying that God doesn’t love them at all. They are really saying that God hates them at least a little bit. And when someone says, “We must follow the word of God no matter what,” they are really saying that the word of God does not actually apply to them at all.
