A Quote from The Talos Principle 2
Cornelius
Straton wrote that the most common error we commit is to think that ideas determine reality, when in fact the opposite is true. Ideas follow from material conditions; belief systems are formed to explain and justify the way we live. We did not have kings because we believed in the mandate of heaven; we believed in the mandate of heaven because we lived in monarchies.

If humankind had no more cause for war, if would make war for sport instead.
God appears, and God is light,
to those poor souls who well in night,
but does a human form display,
to those who dwell in realms of day.
perhaps faith is neither choice nor submission
perhaps faith is a demand
for our pain to have meaning
for the stories of the world to rhyme
for a world designed by a loving hand
perhaps I will believe with defiance
in the forgiveness of all sins
in the kingdom of god on earth
and even
the resurrection of the dead
I will believe with clenched fists
and gritted teeth
and prayers that refuse
to be gentle
The truth cannot be pursued or uncovered, it can only be found where it has already taken root.
You, sir, are a moron of the highest order.
