Quotes on Religion. Wilde, Oscar.

It is the confession, not the priest that gives us absolution.

Most religious teachers spend their time trying to prove the unproven by the unprovable.

Religions...may be absorbed, but they are never disproved.

Medievalism is real Christianity and the medieval Christ is the real Christ.

People fashion their God after their own understanding. They make their God first and worship him afterwards. I should advise you however to postpone coming to any conclusions at present; and if you should happen to die in the meantime, you will stand a much better chance, should a future exist, then some of these braying parsons.

Scepticism is the beginning of faith.

To the wickedness of the papacy humanity owes much. The goodness of the Papacy owes a terrible debt to humanity.

I have many papers to write.

I plan on posting some of the more interesting research material on this specific blog. As a teaser here is a short list of upcoming projects:

Keats

retelling myth and symbol with modern context

rehydrating the sonnet(modern context), and reuniting with the oratorical traditions

Shomei Tomatsu

Post WWII photography in Japan

The transference of early indoctrinated culturo-religio ritual to secular or alternate practices in adulthood

A collection of narratives from "ex-"roman catholics

Narratives from neopagans who were raised in HRR high ritual ratio traditional systems including: Roman

Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, ritual based communal Judaism, et al.

Peer reviewed research on the topics of religion, ritual, early imprints, neo-paganism, ex-catholics, Moral growth

beyond puberty, and many other subtopics that are beginning to consume large amounts of paper and manilla

folders(trust me if I could just save them on my hard drive, I would).{:/}

On Negative Capability(in art, poetry, writing):

I had not a dispute but a disquisition with Dilke, on various subjects; several things dovetailed in my mind, & at once it struck me, what quality went to form a Man of Achievement especially in literature & which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.
