"You see, I keep thinking that what we need is a new language. Some kind of language between people that is a new kind of poetry. And I think that in order to create that language you're going to have learn how you can go through a looking glass into another kind of perception where you have the sense of being untied to all things. Then suddenly, you understand everything." -- DJ Food

Case in point . . . why do musicians say such ridiculous things?

I was talking to my friend the other night about how he had recently become an atheist -- advanced past the state of agnosticism into the realm of complete disbelief. He said that it had been a lecture by a visiting professor arguing for God and first principals that had convinced him that he was right in thinking that God does not exist. For some reason, this conversation really reminded me that things really move very very slowly (socially). Historically speaking, it was only recently that slavery was considered wrong, that it was possible to say publically that you don't believe in god without being imprisoned or killed, or even the emphasis on science as understanding prior to using magic or mysticism as a means of explanation for bizarre events. I guess, that could be construed as being very insulting to those who do believe in God (i.e. eventually your superstition will be rendered obsolete by social progress), however just based on the most cursory look at where we're headed as a species, it really looks like it's away from these archaic belief structures that depend so heavily on faith. That's not to say that I don't rely on them daily, though . . .
