Idiots

This is for all those who believe that the killings in Connecticut are the result of excluding god from the schools. Do you want to know where your "logic" leads?

Let's assume that your god exists. By extrapolation he is all-knowing and all-powerful. And how does he use this knowledge and power? He acts like a vengeful dickhead; a showoff who, when he can't get his own way, arranges to make his point by having children killed. How very old testament. Can't understand why bad things happen? We must have offended god and he is justified in punishing us.

Fucking idiots.

Francis Bacon: The dark forest (1909 - 1992)




This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.
D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)
