DEATH TO LIFE!

[smartykjmn15]

we the united sheep of america
will do anything to feel accepted.
we will follow the crowd, even when the crowd
is going nowhere. we embrace its values
as our own, even when it has none.
we intoxicate ourselves to the point of
mindlessness, and give our bodies over
to someone else's pleasure. we spend
our lives trying to pursue that which
some call success

we are continually filling ourselves yet we still feel empty

Thou movest us to delight in praising You; for You have formed us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in You

-St. Augustine (354-430), Confessions, Book I

Anyway, depending on what is meant by "religious traditions" above, I would say I agree completely.

Thanks for posting that!
