Molloy - pg. 166

Certain questions of a theological nature preoccupied me strangely. As for example.
  1. What value is to be attached to the theory that Eve sprang, not from Adam's rib, but from a tumour in the fat of his leg (arse)?
  2. Did the serpent crawl, or as Comestor affirms, walk upright?
  3. Did Mary conceive through the ear, as Augustine and Adobard assert?
  4. How much longer are we to hang about waiting for antichrist?
  5. Does it really matter which hand is employed to absterge the podex?
  6. What is one to think of the Irish oath sworn by the natives with the right hand on the relics of the saints and the left on the virile member?
  7. Does nature observe the sabbath?
  8. Is it true that the devils do not feel the pains of hell?
  9. The algebraic theology of Craig. What is one to think of this?
  10. Is it true that the infant Saint-Roch refused suck on Wednesdays and Fridays?
  11. What is one to think of the excommunication of vermin in the sixteenth century?
  12. Is one to approve of the Italian cobbler Lovat who, having cut off his testicles, crucified himself?
  13. What was God doing with himself before the creation?
  14. Might not the beatific vision become a source of boredom, in the long run?
  15. Is it true that Judas' torments are suspended on Saturdays?
  16. What if the mass for the dead were read over the living?
