TIMOCLES
Very well. Tell me then, you scoundrel, don't you think the gods exercise any providence?
DAMIS
Not in the least.
TIMOCLES
What's that you say? Then is all that we see about us uncared for by any providence?
DAMIS
Yes.
TIMOCLES
And the administration of the universe is not directed by any god?
DAMIS
No.
TIMOCLES
And everything drifts at random?
DAMIS
Yes.
TIMOCLES
Men do you hear that and put up with it? Aren't you going to stone the villain?
DAMIS
Why do embitter men against me, Timocles? And who are you to get angry on behalf of the gods, especially when they themselves are not angry? They have done me no harm, you see, though they have listened to me long—if indeed they have ears.
TIMOCLES
Yes, they have, Damis, they have, and they will punish you some day in the hereafter.
DAMIS
And when can they find time for me, when they have so many cares, you say, and manage all creation, which is unlimited in its extent? That is why they have not yet paid you back for all your false oaths and everything else—I don't want to be forced to deal in abuse like you, contrary to our stipulations: and yet I don't see what better manifestation for their providence they could have made than to crush your life out miserably, miserable sinner that you are! But it is clear that they are way from home, across the Ocean, no doubt, visiting the guileless Ethiopians. At any rate it is their custom to go and dine with them continually, even self-invited at times.

This is ok, but it's no "Made in the U.S.A", by famed internet author Jack McCallum, available now on Amazon.com! Makes a perfect stocking stuffer*!

My favorite part of the play is when Apollo prophesies, if anyone's interested.

Lucian the best of Roman satirists set out the conflict between religion and reason--a topic still relevant

I'll give you your +2 if you prove to me that you are Lucian. Until then, I said "of your own devising".
