I suppose what causes the problems between myself and you people - I mean the "pseudo-religious" nuts, not the monosyllabic farters and shitters - is that, given that you don't impress me as unequivocally loopy or seriously mentally challenged, I do - NEEDLESS TO SAY, I would hope! - find it impossible to take these admonitions to "respect the temple" and so on seriously.

I mean, a joke's a joke and all that, and all the silly fiddle-faddle about "Sky Queens" and so on may have been good for a dry, wry smirk or two at one's Internet buddies for a while there. But not only is it PATENTLY UTTERLY AND ENTIRELY UNTRUE, everyone even KNOWS it to be untrue and just a (by now rather tired and tiring) little game that you play with yourselves.

I presume you know that yourself - and that your character flaws are not a matter of being actually batshit crazy but just of being a rather mediocre, uninteresting little man of fair-to-middling intelligence who thinks he can come across as some exotic, fascinating, quirky genius-type by pretending he actually believes in this silly rot.

If you really do feel the need for some sort of religious experience in your life, there are plenty of religions with a massively greater degree of substance on offer for you to turn to - not least Christianity. I'm sure that if you take the time to examine the doctrine and liturgy of just about any Christian denomination you won't be long in noticing that all the clumsy, silly Cracky scrawlings and doodlings are just lightly warmed-over bits of Christian doctrine anyway, with a few names changed.

Another way, of course, of shaking yourself out of this trance of delusion that you seem to live in - which I suspect, as I say, may just be a trance of vanity and overestimation of your own interestingness - would be to actually follow out the logic of your own professed beliefs. You seem to be pretty exactly one of the two sorts of people that I alluded to in an earlier post on this thread. You are in love, or pretend to be in love, with the idea that the profane world of our emotional and material experience might be pervaded by the light of the Divine. But you only accept those forms and vessels of the Divine that you have put your own personal petty little stamp on and made, as it were, part of your ego. Olivia was "divine"; Kimi is allowed to be potentially, or slightly, "divine" because she is known to have been directly associated with Olivia. But everything else is "heathenism" and "whores".

As I say, even if we accept the rules of the game you pretend you want to play here, such an attitude is COUNTER to these very rules. If Kimi partook of your "divinity" - and has a place in "the temple" - by virtue of whatever passed between her and Olivia, what are we to say about the patently numinous, wonderful thing that is passing between her and RavRav in the second photo I posted? Do we have to split that photo down the middle, cut through the fingers that reach for the flesh of "heathen" arms, cut through the skull that buries itself in "heathen" breasts, to separate and save the "divine" from the "profane"?
