from a reply I wrote on a friends post:
"Let us fall to the security of a universal truth that never changes."
---
In reference to their need for comfort in an undying truth as opposed to a living science that can change and adapt. They need the dead, unyielding corpse of so called immutable Truth (with a capital T) to recline their souls upon, just like spiritual Ed Geins.
I choose to dwell among sprites and muses. Amongst trees and gardens, of pleasures divine, the earth swelling with delight, and the glorious smells of the present life that's given to me. NOT some wretched eternal thing called heaven where I've got to sit my ass down all day bowing down all the fucking time praising God just so this sadistic fuck can feed his ego.
Give me Lucifer, the light-bringer, the one who shall give knowledge and illuminate darkness. Give me Reason, true Logos, true Word, not some false dead scripture and dogma. The world itself is the word of god, and we are all actors in it. We all dance, and sing, and cry and hurt, and love and hate and this is part of life.
Give me the true light of the Sun, Solar power that drives and gives all beings their energy, like the Holy Spirit itself, impregnating the womb of Mother Earth with motion. We are the word made flesh. We are the code of DNA incarnate.
This is part of my belief. I choose to let the earth reveal herself to me in her own way and time. I do not need "revealed" scripture. It is the cause of so much misery throughout the world and it feeds the leeches with evergrowing wealth.
It does not have to be like this. Religions exists for a need. There is a psychological purpose for it. But there are those who are masters at manipulating this need, and in the process of doing so, proceed to gain wealth and power. Sure there are some good things that religion does, it would be absurd of me to say there was absolutely nothing of value in religion. But it's damn near close in my opinion.
And by religion, I mean, more than anything, Dogma. And this goes for Scientific Dogma as well. I am one who believes that there are fanatic scientists as well as fanatic xians (sorry, Brent, I know you hate when I spell "christians" like that.)
