emerges through the clouds, a fortuitous sign for the season. Rocky Gap WV

Tennessee Williams
All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent, this angry, petulant old man. I mean, he’s represented like a bad-tempered childish old, sick, peevish man – I mean like the sort of old man in a nursing home that’s putting together a jigsaw puzzle and can’t put it together and gets furious at it and kicks over the table. Yes, I tell you they do that, all our theologies do it – accuse God of being a cruel senile delinquent, blaming the world and brutally punishing all he created for his own faults in construction.

Thomas Paine
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
