Madness (Sileni) (№ 1659)

- What nature gives us? Is she not greedy, not destructive, not violent, not fickle and not utterly callous? Have you ever noticed that she does the best to kill and maim? Don't you see that evil is her natural element? Her creative impulses only fill the world with blood, tears and grief.
- She is our mother!
- What kind of mother spends so much of its energy, causing suffering, ruthlessly and systematically killing their own children? One has only to glance at your "mother", and it becomes clear that it creates only to destroy. All it does is kills! And we - her children! So why we should behave differently? I would kill a mother!
As for God... in Nature, at least, exists independently of our will, our desires. And God... He just created from human fears and hopes.
People have always been unhappy. And they always have been. They are looking for the cause of ills and hope to stop their suffering. And they have created such a Chimera as God, in the hope that he will fulfill their wishes!
God is nothing more than a Chimera, born of our fear and weakness.
But religion teaches us...
- What Christian dogma says about your mighty God? What your religion says about it? All I see is a fickle and barbaric being, one who created the world, then only to regret it. Poor creature, unable to create man as he wants!
But if God created us perfect, why should we seek to be worthy of salvation?
- What banality! Why would people not be worthy of their God? Create us incapable of evil... that would be an act worthy of God! But by giving man the freedom of choice, you give him the temptation. God in his infinite wisdom must have known where it leads. He misleads creatures, created solely for my own entertainment! Is God awful! God is monstrous! Such a God is harmful! And he deserves only our hatred and revenge!
