What the characters in the book say:
“People do crazy things when they lose what they love. That silent phobia is the only thing that unites us all.”
“If Mailugulism is the people’s choice, why are you shoving it down their throats?”
“Fate led him to the figurative yet welcoming arms of Mailugula. Things happen that way, after all. Life is full of blind luck and hopeless gambles, but eventually, something good will happen to you. That's the logic in this frankly illogical situation.”
“Just because you think something is missing from your world doesn’t mean it’s missing from everyone else’s! You’re just dressing up self-awareness as a religion, and it’s not!”
“You would not give a homeless man the change out of your pocket, let alone your love to the God that makes life possible.”
“There can be a balance between autonomy and religion. Mailugulism may make it clearer for some, but for others, it may just cloud that fact.”
