Are you in the cult of knowledge?
I saw this video game, that is a really cool replay of the entire
war in iraq, every single shot fired, replayed in perfect
computer graphics that would make a teenage computer-gamer
deeply jealous. The sound effects are really sublime, as
so many people cry to their god in the smoking recks of their
homes. These prayers to god come up from the battlefield
stronger than the bullets and bombs. Every single prayer unique,
and easily audible for miles and miles.

The game rolls up the scores dead, wounded, casualty rate per day,
per hour and per second. Casualty rate per second per second
maximum, and all the other scores rolled up in a big spreadsheet.

Prayers for wisdom to come to all people, prayers of total goodwill
towards all of humanity that they war no more. That it is wise to
make peace and listen to the prayers.

What knowledge is there, that,
when spun to a tune
is always the same.
What is the root of knowledge?
What is the root of this thing we abstractly call truth?
Is it not knowledge itself unmanifest.
Others might call that god.

Is the argument for the existance of god, knowledge?

2. and this word "theory" inseparable
from the very science of definition and semantics that empowers it,
and be not this knowledge? And if it is you, then your knowledge
is much richer than ever can be squeezed in discrete phoenetic
characters. So my theory has it, that knowledge must exist
already to even discuss "theory" and knowledge suggests its prescience.

That the ethos in teaching knowlege is itself classic liberalism,
then is not liberalism tied in with god? I can't help but see the
two slightly entertwined, by the very unmentionable base of
human perception, the window of experience, and its direct knowledge
direct from the heart, knowing that all of life is sacred.

Rather than anthromorphize a face, god as merely omnipresent light,
perfect knowledge, primal knowing deep and ecstatically still.
Then knowledge could be being ignorant and acting wise. But
being ignorant and acting ignorant is not knowledge, so we know
that bush and his ilk, must be cut loose, or science, and the root
foundations of learning and epistemology demand it, in the name
of truth, the church must cut loose the monkey.
