In order to tell me anything about God, God's existence has to be proven. Otherwise, why should I care?

If I tell you that Dave Daveson is going to give you a million dollars if you become his friend and worship him and that if you don't be his friend, he'll kill you, would you care at all if I never prove to you that Dave Daveson exists and just tell you to have faith he exists?

Darren Aronofsky, Brendan Fraser – „The Whale“ (2022)

Jetzt mal ehrlich: Dieser Film war ein Monster. Auch wenn es „nur“ drei Oscars dafür gab, hat dieses kleine Kammerspiel für mich 22/23 die Saison als größte Überraschung dominiert. Es war schlicht unglaublich, was Arronofsky und Fraser aus einem Theaterstück extrahiert und auf die Leinwand gebracht haben. (ARD, Wh)

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

The Church hates a thinker precisely for the same reason a robber dislikes a sheriff, or a thief despises the prosecuting witness. Tyranny likes courtiers, flatterers, followers, fawners, and superstition wants believers, disciples, zealots, hypocrites, and subscribers.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society

Today's post is a collection of links that support my increasingly strong feeling that the human race (or at least our technological civilization) is doomed. As you might expect the articles focus on the Trump administrations war on science and climate change and its effects.

POSTING AGAIN: I directed a movie in 2019 captured on an old super 8 film camera, creating an early 1900s aesthetic, and centered on the duality of Science and Faith, titled "Chapter 9." I worked closely with a very small group of artists (7 of us on the entire production) to bring these ideas to the screen. It was complete with all hand-painted title cards and an original musical score. The full film is just under 30 minutes in length and can be viewed at the link below for free. I hope you get a chance to see it and enjoi! 🎥

Blessed God on high
Lord of golden Olympus
Where the sun shines eternally
And the trees bear fruit forever

Blessed God on high
Stirrer of the clouds
That bring rain and wind
And roar across the lands of man

Blessed God on high
Bearing the thunderbolt
That flashes like the sun itself
And strikes fear into all who see it

Blessed God on high
Lord of thunder
That rings forth and shakes the home
Startling with its warning

Blessed God on high
Ruler of the heavens
King of Gods and Men
Son of mighty Kronos

Blessed God on high
O Zeus of the silver beard
God of Gods; Lord of Lords
Let my voice reach you that you may bless us all

A quotation from Moliere

CLÉANTE:These are the arguments of all your kind:
   Since they can’t see, they think that no one ought;
   Whoever does, is tainted with free thought;
   Whoever balks at pious affectation
   Fails to hold piety in veneration.
   Come now, for all your talk, I’m not afraid;
   Heaven sees my heart, and I know what I’ve said.
 
[Voilà de vos pareils le discours ordinaire:
Ils veulent que chacun soit aveugle comme eux;
C’est être libertin que d’avoir de bons yeux;
Et qui n’adore pas de vaines simagrées
N’a ni respect ni foi pour les choses sacrées.
Allez, tous vos discours ne me font point de peur;
Je sais comme je parle, et le ciel voit mon cœur.]


Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Frame (1967), 1.5]

Continued thread

President Lula is being very political when he says: "I think socialism failed because we rejected religion."

But there's some truth to that. Although atheism would certainly be preferable, humanity is not even close to ready for it.

For #socialism to deliver it's promise it really should let #religion in. So much of what Jesus taught is actually in line with socialism.

Marx & Engels were utopians in the 18th century. They didn't know what we know about how evolution made many of us religious
