So dark

A frightening future. Could it be ours?

Thanks for asking. No! I don't think this is our future. In my mind it is a parable. I was trying to say that you can go from one paradigm (conservative monotheism) to its polar opposite (conservative hedonism) and, if you stay with the ruling mindset of self-righteousness and bigotry, you will be exchanging one crock of shit for another.

I am with Tennyson. "The old order changeth, yielding place to new, and God fulfils himself in many ways, lest one good counsel should corrupt the world"
