Then I'll let you explain to him why you're not following instructions......just before he runs you through with his light saber.

I didn't see it as self-indulgent, or even really much about "god". It mentioned a creator, but who knows if that is really what sm equates to god. I don't agree with the opinions in this piece, but I like how it was written. SM, good work. I don't agree and am not a Christian, but it looks to me more like an antecdotal essay, rather than a manifesto. Perhaps not calling it a manifesto might give it more open acceptance.
I guess I hadn't really read all the other stuff on that site. Anyway, yeah, maybe it was about god and such, but I am trying very hard not to let that influence my opinion about the writing. Writing looks good. Philosophy = not my style. Last edited by kerosene; 05-11-2005 at 08:42 AM. Reason: wasn't reading everything said |
