“Why is it that humans can recognize the fictional origins, mythological structure, and cultural utility of every god in history—except for their own? Because it is their own. And they’ve been taught not to question the portrait while standing inside the frame.”

“A perfect ruler might be possible—but only if it isn’t too much like us. As a species, we’re hopelessly entangled in our own cognitive distortions. God isn’t the answer either, since every god we’ve ever imagined wears our face, bleeds our flaws, and demands our tribal loyalty. No wonder paradise—let alone basic utilitarianism—keeps slipping through our fingers.”
— Doug Sherman, Meandering Morning Coffee Reflections (2025)”

“But now we've got weapons of chemical dust,
If fire them we're forced to, then fire them we must,
One push of the button and they shot the world wide,
And you never ask questions when God's on your side
— Bob Dylan, With God on Our Side (1964)”
