  1. I don't want your explanations, you fool. I want YOU.
  2. Please report to my office to... discuss this at once, Nephew.
  3. I note with extreme displeasure that you've failed to prevent the release of this "Screwtape Study Guide": http://www.screwtape.com/share/
  4. @tempterwormwood I will get back to you with an answer shortly. Right now, we have a group of recruits coming in and I’m feeling peckish.
  5. @tempterwormwood All remain opportunities for humans to exchange ideas. The Enemy will exploit all of them for His aims, just as we do.
  6. @tempterwormwood Scratches on cave walls, written letters, telegraphs, telephones, e-mails, social networks … I don’t care about the method.
  7. @tempterwormwood We’ll find a use for it. But remember this: The point isn’t HOW humans communicate, but WHAT they communicate.
  8. @tempterwormwood Yes, Wormwood. Surely your patient has a friend who subscribes to the views set forth by a so-called "self-help" teacher?
  9. @tempterwormwood That we know of; but we’re still looking. Meanwhile, get back to your patient and work on his desire to find his True Self.
  10. @tempterwormwood Some believe the Enemy uses these ideas to lure humans together to fatten them up for the final supper He’ll make of them.
  11. @tempterwormwood Of course they are! They are unattainable myths that the Enemy propagates for reasons as yet unknown to us.
  12. @tempterwormwood His view bases community around horrendous notions of encouragement, support, nurture, even -- I can hardly say it -- love.
  13. @tempterwormwood Only inasmuch as we gather to serve our Father and, when possible, devour one another. The Enemy’s view is different.
  14. @tempterwormwood What humans must never realize is that separating from the Enemy’s sense of community places each person in OUR community.
  15. @tempterwormwood You moron. They do not intend for the individual to be alone, but to be away from all the noise and clutter we create!
  16. @tempterwormwood Wonderfully, he does discover something. He discovers the Fictional Self that we have created for him to see.
  17. @tempterwormwood We do. But the Enemy also provides it through several means -- and especially through community.
  18. @tempterwormwood Their minds circle around the same drain, the same thoughts, the same conclusions, without outside input.
  19. @tempterwormwood The humans were not meant to be alone. Human thinking atrophies when done alone …
  20. @tempterwormwood Because his True Self can only be discovered when it is in communion with the Enemy and those the Enemy places around him.
