Approximate Conversations, Vol. 1, No. 1

"Someday scientists are going to make the connection to the spiritual
realm. Probably the physicists first. They spend all their time
watching the atoms fly around - all that sub-atomic shit, you know ?
They'll make that connection. Guarantee it."

Science is science and religion is horseshit.

"I'm not fuckin talking about religion, dude ! Take all the priests
and rabbis and mullah motherfuckers and line 'em up against the wall!
Fuck 'em - I'm talking about the present-day, eternal reality of
spirit which can be OBSERVED AND CONFIRMED BY SCIENCE ! Do you think
I'm some kind of dropout dumbass who never read a book ?"

What's the difference between religion and reality of spirit ?

"What's the difference between a flashlight and a supernova ? One is
an imitation of the other. We understand and need light - always have.
Eventually we figured out how to duplicate it and keep it near us.
But it's NOT the original reality. We are dealing with surrogates
until we can get the real thing."

Why can't religion get the real thing for us ?

"Because it is happy to settle for second-best. It tells you BE QUIET
AND OBEY YOUR LEADERS AND FOLLOW THE RULES BECAUSE OUR RULES ARE THE
BEST WE CAN DO ! This is why science will have to settle everything.

How do you know science can settle everything ?

"Science has no Pope or Bible or Torah or stable of unicorns. Only
observation and conclusions. The physicists will probably get there
first. Watching the atoms fly around - all that sub-atomic stuff with
the quantum mechanics and whatever. Fuck, man - If God is the
illustrator of all this, then his signature can only be found buried
deep under the paint, woven into the background, and disguised as a
finger-smudge".
