"No Compass Needles Needed!"
(When Pretending There's no North)
"Like men with sore eyes: they find the light painful, while the
darkness, which permits them to see nothing, is restful and agreeable."
--Dio Chrysostom

"[The universe]...has no design, no purpose, no evil and no good,
nothing but pointless indifference."-- Richard Dawkins (chief spokesman
for religious Scientism/ Macro-Evolutionary Darwinism)
*****
"[Humans]...are for nothing, you are here to propogate your selfish
genes. There is no higher purpose to life..." --Richard Dawkins
*****
"Frighteningly people do not understand Darwin's great insight. What
people miss is the sheer inevitability of the creative process. Once you
see it--copy, vary, select, copy vary, select---you see that design by
natural selection simply has to happen..."
"If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of the
religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better
way to live in this pointless universe."--
Dr. Susan Blackmore (psychologist/memeticist)

"We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each
of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is
loved, each of us is necessary."--Pope Benedict XVI
"No Compass Needles Needed!"
(When Pretending There's no North)
We're Bi-pedal Accidentals
In a pointless universe...
Bowing down to Master Darwin,
Guru, Idol...
And Wet Nurse.
Now we dream up Moral Motions
In this Pointless Dark Abyss;
We're evolving ever higher....
(Without
meaning....
We insist!)
Each man's a pointless compass,
In a world where there's no pole...
Darwinism's pointless answer
To the questions of the soul.
Blazing trails in all directions,
Pro-Choice Mutants climbing high...
Revolutionaries spinning
Tales of "progress" by 'n' by.
Darwin's insight saw The Answer!
From North Needles we've been freed!
Yes, he conjured "new directions"...
"Red Tooth 'n' Claw" his map decrees.
Now survival of the Fittest
Is the Compass Point we seek...
Proudly spinning in the darkness,
Toward Evolution's Promised Peak!
There's no nagging Hidden Purpose;
There's no pesky Northern Pole.
There's no Standard that we're held to....
Enjoy!....
The Liberated Soul!
There's no Truth...No Revelation.
Random Chance?...Our only Guide.
Neither Compass,
Nor direction....
"Right" and "wrong"?
Well,
You decide!
Disregard all talk of "needles"
Pointing "here" and pointing "there".
Sir, we have no need of needles
In this Kingdom of the Air!
Climb the Mount of Darwin's Genius....
Enjoy the air...It's
rarefied!
Scale the Pinnacle of Darkness...
Now breath in......
Be
stupefied!
There's no meaning here...
All's Empty.
But
this Emptiness is Full!
Mystic Zen state of "Nirvana"...
PoMo's Magnetic Pull.
Here's
release! No obligation!
There's no Guiding Light above!
Chains of guilt and shame dissolving...
On Swami Darwin's Mount of Luv.
There's no "outside revelation"...
The Light we follow's
deep within.
It illuminates The Pathway
While assuring,
"There's No Sin!"
Human Reason is our Compass...
It's really all you'll ever need.
Just trust your Basic Instinct,
"Will to Power"...Nietszche's Creed.
Follow Evolution's Gospel
Up this Path of Human Pride.
Mount Meaningless provides us
With Dark Caves where we can hide.
Moral Law?...Disoriented.
Truth co-ordinates?...Dismissed!
Fools ascending...making "progress"
(Forget that
crucial turn you missed!)
********
True Light shone up on The Mountain...
Blazing Glory...piercing souls.
Where the Son of Revelation,
Made three seeking sinners whole.
Lord, please take us up that Mountain...
Point the Needle...Pierce the heart.
Shine the Brightness of your Purpose;
Give dead sinners a new start.
Lord, like John and James and Peter,
Terrify our hearts of Sin!
Then, Lord, touch us with your Mercy...
Lift us up new,
Born again.
"The dilemma of modern man is simple: he does not know why man has
any meaning, he is lost, man remains a zero. This is the damnation of our
generation, the heart of modern man's problem." --Francis Schaeffer

"The first step in climbing the heights of virtue is the letter of
Holy Scripture and the appearance of visible things, so that once the letter
is read and scripture examined, they may ascend, by steps of correct reason,
to the Spirit of the letter and the rationality of creation."--John
Scotus Erigena
*****
"After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the
brother of James up a high mountain by themselves. There he was
transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and
Elijah, talking with Jesus....
"....a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud
said, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to
him.'
"When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the
ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. 'Get up,' he said,
'Don't be afraid.' When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus."
(Matthew 17: 1...8)
