I am severely dehydrated

No person is born with the knowledge that God exists, and as he learns, it is man’s choice to establish that connection, or to go about his life, ignoring the divinity that surrounds him.

Nor does man spite God, instead resenting the merciless institutions that have taken place of God, carrying out his message by bloodstained hands. Man disregards God not because God has disgraced him, but because those in his stead misrepresent in the most vile of ways.

[vivalavoltaire]

If you wish to understand infinity, to look upon the vastness of space and understand, all you must do is look around you, let your gaze linger on the human stupidity that is everywhere, endless.

[vivalavoltaire]

I am but little more than a bitter man who has lived in chains, shackled to mine own humanity.

Alas, they never live, yet always expect to wake and greet the day and find their wrists freed from the burden of a mindless existence.

Truly, the weight of the world rests on those intelligent enough to see it through unbiased and understanding eyes.

[vivalavoltaire]

Rationality pleads with us to bring separation upon the church and state, as the state will override the church, and, in a hundred years time, none will know the true message of the Bible aside from those curious enough to look for antiques. Corruption will seep into that which was holy, and greed will override all.

But also, set fire and burn the church.

[vivalavoltaire]

“We must cultivate our garden.”

Our responsibility is local, we must grow love with those around us, and we must cultivate that garden; make it into a place for loved ones to dwell and enjoy the sun, the warmth.

Let us all cultivate gardens.
