This is a little taste of the stuff I am dwelling on at the moment:
'I find in the bible a divine command to be a pleasure seeker - that is, to forsake the two-bit, low-yield, short term, never-satisfying, person-destroying, God-belittling pleasures of the world and to sell everything "with joy" (Matt 13:44) in order to have the kingdom of heaven, and thus "enter into the joy of your Master" (Matt 25:21, 23).'
