“Epiphanies do not arise through direct regurgitation of what came before; epiphanies are unexpected slips into novelty.”

“Faith depends on unconscious pleasure, and so we hold onto our beliefs exactly as strongly as the pleasure they yield us.”

“Marx foresaw the rise of analysis and political theology when he wrote, “Thus the criticism of heaven turns into the criticism of the earth, the criticism of religion into the criticism of law, and the criticism of theology into the criticism of politics.” The gods do not really die, but they shift forms. We evolved with a need to believe, and if a god appears to die an(O)ther will occupy the vacated position. We are forever rearranging and rearticulating the Imaginary to account for flaws in the Symbolic; we do not even touch the Real (to say nothing of reality as such).”
