2. My dear California Peggy, i am that a stranger in a strange land

Given that, I leave it to the reader to pick up Stranger in a Strange Land and revel in it.
In spite of the movements and religions it has birthed,
Stranger is no bible;
it is a sprawling satire of human conceits, including marriage, love, sex and--most importantly--religion. Satire usually aims to inform, so if one is looking for any message in Stranger, then one take a good, long look at Heinlein's targets and think.


As Heinlein himself said in a letter to an avid fan, ". . .I would never undertake to be a `Prophet,' handing out neatly packaged answers to lazy minds.

<. . .> anyone who takes that book as answers is cheating himself. It is an invitation to think--not to believe."
