“It’s amazing to contemplate, but once you have a ‘holy book’, you no longer have to learn, become intelligent, sensitive, or even holy. You can simply walk around evaluating reality and attacking everything that doesn’t comply with the (often openly ridiculous) admontions and frameworks extracted from the implications of dead text in your book. And that will, by the way, be everything in creation… including yourselves — because reality and text cannot be unified or reconciled in the way the ridiculously fanatical absurdities that underlie your holy books and ideas demand.”
