Somebody pass me an ostensive whiskey, now!  What the hell is this all
about?  Do you agree that people who reduce "God" to a poor helpless
clod doing his best to be kind and alert but failing miserably, are
clinging to a parody of theism in an utterly pathetic manner?

"Resistance to the proposition that the essence of truth is freedom is
based on preconceptions, the most obstinate of which is that freedom is
a property of man."  Martin Heidegger, "On the Essence of Truth," [Vom
Wesen der Wahrheit] translated by John Sallis, in "Basic Writings,"
(old version, 1977) p.126.
