Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

What is an artistic picture? an artistic picture is very simple. the creator is not the producer. the creator is not the star. the creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. the creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. that is an artistic picture.

Earth walks on earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to earth, sooner than it wold; earth builds on earth, palaces and towers; earth says to earth, soon, all shall be ours.

The christian religion is derogatory to the creator in all its articles. it puts the creator in an inferior point of view, and places the christian devil above him. it is he, according to the absurd story in genesis, that outwits the creator in the garden eden, and steals from him his favorite creature, man, and at last obliges him to beget a son, and put that son to death, to get man back again; and this the priests of the christian religion call redemption.

The relationship we have with god is not the same over a life; sometimes, as with human relationships, it goes through bad patches and sometimes it becomes very intense. it is a terrifying thing to have a relationship with one's creator, to spend one's life so that one is trying to converge with one's creator seems an extraordinarily difficult and sublime thing. but at the same time it's extremely simple. one of the things which perpetually amazes me is that at any moment or any day, anyone who is alive can talk with the creator of the cosmos.

By trying to adjust to the findings that it once tried so viciously to ban and repress, religion has only succeeded in restating the same questions that undermined it in earlier epochs. what kind of designer or creator is so wasteful and capricious and approximate? what kind of designer or creator is so cruel and indifferent? and - most of all - what kind of designer or creator only chooses to "reveal" himself to semi-stupefied peasants in desert regions?
