Those who worship human knowledge and reason have a village idiot for a god.
tiny.ag/7dx4iucg · submitted 2001
The atheist may not worship God, but he certainly worships something. He worships human knowledge, human reason-- of which he considers himself the supreme example because he does not believe in God. In short, he worships himself.

Primitive man's real relationship with the spirits of Nature generally consisted of: "Oh, mighty Jaguar God, would you be so kind as to please not eat us today ?"

In ten thousand years, nothing has changed. The high priests and priestesses are still ordering the peasants to sacrifice their gold, their crops, their land, and their children to the Nature Goddess, or the Nature Goddess will destroy them. The only difference is that nowadays they call it "Environmentalism."

This is the paradox of our times: we claim proudly to live in a country founded and run by "the common man"-- yet we dismiss, out of hand, the insights of the common man into his own society if he is not a lettered celebrity. If we have a question about agriculture or land laws, we'll ask a politician, a bureaucrat, a famous "researcher" or a hollywood activist for their insights-- but we would never stoop to asking a farmer.

"Anecdotal." I always wonder why liberals, who claim to care about the individual, always dismiss the stories of real flesh and blood people as "merely anecdotal." I wonder if they would feel themselves to be "merely anecdotal" if their own experiences and concerns were so brusquely dismissed from consideration.
