My father,
:36:25
Lord of silence,
supreme god of desolation,

:36:28
who mankind reviles
yet aches to embrace,

:36:34
strengthen my purpose to save the world
from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ

:36:40
and his grubby, mundane creed.
:36:45
2,000 years have been enough.
:36:50
Show man instead
the raptures of thy kingdom.

:36:54
Infuse in him the
grandeur of melancholy,

:36:57
the divinity of loneliness,
:37:00
the purity of evil,
:37:02
the paradise... of pain.
:37:09
What perverted imagination has
fed man the lie that hell
festers in the bowels of the earth?

:37:15
There is only one hell -
the leaden monotony of human existence.

:37:20
There is only one heaven.
:37:24
The ecstasy of my father's kingdom.
:37:33
Nazarene charlatan,
what can you offer humanity?

:37:38
Since the hour you vomited forth
from the gaping wound of a woman,

:37:43
you've done nothing
but drown man's soaring desires

:37:46
in a deluge of sanctimonious morality.
:37:51
You've inflamed the pubertal
mind of youth with your
repellent dogma of original sin.

:37:57
And now you're resolved on denying
him ultimate joy beyond death
