"No religion ought to claim possession of any factual knowledge of its own. When a culture is in good working order, religion arises from what is considered true by everybody; but when knowledge advances while religion stagnates, a split develops between what science knows and what religion avows. Belief in God is not a religious perogative but a hypothesis left from early science." --Parables of Sun Light


"Obelisk of Insignificance"

there's a cold wild blowing
through my house tonight
dracospiral Lardil
scrollworkopal threatfire
there's a wind of fiasco booming

libraries
in liquidation
larger even than mine

infomercials
will have to do

automatic update completed
thank you
we are now denormalized

the torn broken and crumbled earth
heaped up
behind fences


"The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything." --W. Bagehot
