Heading homewards through the hills and hollers a rainbow

Dispatches from Nod, the envrions, and elsewhere.
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.
