...you're so [pissed off at the world] that you're ready to kill everyone you know? So the solution is to get away from it all?
I'm going to quote some Peter Ralston:
"Notice what you need in order for a Shangri-la type place, a beautiful place, or even a place away from here...Say we get a place up in the mountains... --to go beyond the mediocrity that we live in, and the suffering that we live in, and the pain that we live in that we just put up with from moment to moment-- to go someplace to create an environment where our purpose for living is to experience beyond our present level of experience...
"It wouldn't work. It would always break down. It would break down in a relatively short time. I wouldn't even give it a year."
"Because, you see, you would be there...And haven't you noticed? We don't have the discipline for that. We don't have the nuts, the courage, the persistence...the overwhelming courage it takes for something like that. You don't want to go there and be courageous! You want to go there so you don't have to be courageous. Right? You want to go there so you can get away from this! And have a Shangri-La!"
(From Ancient Wisdom, New Spirit, pg 85-86).

"It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.” --- Aleister Crowley
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
--- Stephen Hawking
Therefore, God is a monkey.
