Light = God
Prism = Prophets
Spectrum = Religions

Dark Side of the Moon was a great album.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

*Light: The unexplained, the numinous, the desire to know.

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

- John Lennon

Please do not soil the dark side of the moon imagery with your tribal desert delusions.

No one likes it. Sad

Synackaon, that's cool but, light is better than shit because it gives you an output of different colors. Yours doesn't change.

prophets Hmph Why does every god need prophets?! Prophets are notoriously inadequate for the job.

Your god could've saved a whole lot of time & effort if he would've just adopted this little motto:

You want something done right? Do it yourself!

But religion isn't as fantastic as a colour spectrum, it is messy shit. Shit (the idea of god) goes in, more messed up shit comes as a result.

You forgot to add the part where the followers of all the different colors try to murder the followers of the other colors because their color is the one true color.

Actually it is a pretty good metaphor Big Grin
