Please read all the way through and especially the end. ;)
Creed of the Modern Thinker -Steven Turner
We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin
We believe everything is OK
as long as you don't hurt anyone
to the best of your definition of hurt,
and to the best of your definition of knowledge.
We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that sodomy's OK.
We believe that taboos are taboo.
We believe that everything's getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated
And you can prove anything with evidence.
We believe there's something in horoscopes UFO's and bent spoons.
Jesus was a good man just like Buddha, Mohammed, and ourselves.
He was a good moral teacher though we think
His good morals were bad.
We believe that all religions are basically the same-at least the one that we read was.
They all believe in love and goodness.
They only differ on matters of creation,
sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.
We believe that after death comes the Nothing
Because when you ask the dead what happens they say nothing.
If death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its
compulsory heaven for all excepting perhaps
Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Kahn
We believe in Masters and Johnson
What's selected is average.
What's average is normal.
What's normal is good.
We believe in total disarmament.
We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed.
Americans should beat their guns into tractors .
And the Russians would be sure to follow.
We believe that man is essentially good.
It's only his behavior that lets him down.
This is the fault of society.
Society is the fault of conditions.
Conditions are the fault of society.
We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him.
Reality will adapt accordingly.
The universe will readjust.
History will alter.
We believe that there is no absolute truth
excepting the truth
that there is no absolute truth.
We believe in the rejection of creeds,
And the flowering of individual thought.
If chance be
the Father of all flesh,
disaster is his rainbow in the sky
and when you hear
State of Emergency!
Sniper Kills Ten!
Troops on Rampage!
Youths go Looting!
Bomb Blasts School!
It is but the sound of man
worshipping his maker.
Great piece on the ignorance of modern thought.

Hi, I ran across your site while reading dropsofjupiter's blog and saw you have some great posts.
Sadly, I'm afraid the irony of this essay is lost on those who could learn the most from it.
What a self-centered, selfish society we live in hu? I love the ending anyways...."It is but the sound of man, worshipping his maker". How've you been stranger-than-me? :sswink:
You are exactly right. But we declare the truth anyway so that like the proverbial flower through the concrete, it will be heard some how.
@efarns -
You cracked me up today! I was driving back from church, had the radio on listening to the game not even 5 minutes when you text me about listening to it also.Like I said....Seattle is a hospitable city, we're kind and considerate. We couldn't let the Angels go home dejected and broken hearted, swept under Seattle's matt...we had to give them this win :ssgoofywink:. These past three games have changed my opinion of the Angels though. I have a new respect for players like Guerrero, Torri Hunter, and F. Rod. They play hard and definately gave us a run for the money.
And yep....we do declare the truth anyways.........a huge amen!
Cya!
