Our Fiction
About the heavens,
Hollow is thy game.
Our thraldom’s come,
Thy work’s been done, The world’s enslaved by superstition.
Give us this day our daily dread,
And allow our caloric excesses
As we suppress those
Who’d warn others against us.
And lead us not into reflection
But deliver free-thought to peril
As imprimaturs lend awesome
Power to a story
By reprinting it for ever & ever.
Ahem.
I like it 🙂
Thanks M! And also, I really liked your website. I especially liked the 12 reasons why you are an atheist. You really hit it right on the head. Finally, I’ll pass on a quote from a friend of mine who had been a divinity student, “The quickest way to lose your faith is to study theology.” By that he meant both that it is a mass of contradictory man-made material, not the word of god, as well as that theology is simply a mass on unprovable clap-trap. For a laugh you might look up the books, “The Prevalence Of Humbug,” by Black and “On Bullshit,” by Frankfurt. They are not about theology per se, but about academic BS, nonsense, or double talk. Enjoy.
