aphorisms and short reflections
"the first satan wanted to save everyone. the second wanted to damn everyone. the third wants to destroy the very idea of salvation."
On mark, and sadly true, in the sense that the third has achieved a great degree of success among the Western masses.
"in a staring contest with the abyss. i'm winning."
That's good to hear. Nietzsche would be impressed, perhaps even proud.
thank you Frank. and indeed, the success seems to be near total (if we’re counting political christians, which i do).
and related to the above, the abyss can only win if we cease to have hope. but i think it’s quite necessary to face it.
