All of the true things that I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
_________________________________________ I say that
1) truth is sometimes true but not always
2) God is not good but neutral, and if not neutral, imaginary.
3) the salvation and conclusion of man will come from man alone
Only the mind of man can understand itself, and only through harmless lies will we obtain peace and enlightenment. Without purely biblical support, someone refute me.
From the Books of Bokonon (Vonnegut - Cat's Cradle)
On the End of the World:
Someday, someday, this crazy world will have to end,
And our God will take things back that He to us did lend.
And if, on that sad day, you want to scold our God,
Why just go ahead and scold Him. He'll just smile and nod. [119]
A poem on pretending to understand:
Tiger got to hunt,
Bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, "Why, why, why?"
Tiger got to sleep,
Bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand. [ 81 ]
