I would not be at all surprised to find that it was for gold that cain committed the first murder. (it happened a very long time ago, and holy writ, though no doubt divinely inspired, is a trifle careless about details. god is not a historian).

More From Barbara Mertz

Violence never really deals with the basic evil of the situation. violence may murder the murderer, but it doesn’t murder murder. violence may murder the liar, but it doesn’t murder lie; it doesn’t establish truth. violence may even murder the dishonest man, but it doesn’t murder dishonesty. violence may go to the point of murdering the hater, but it doesn’t murder hate. it may increase hate. it is always a descending spiral leading nowhere. this is the ultimate weakness of violence: it multiplies evil and violence in the universe. it doesn’t solve any problems.
Hate Liars Lying
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Motivational Hate Liars
I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. a riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. we can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. you can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. you can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. and what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.

I am inspired by thinkers. i am inspired by rebellion. i am inspired by children. i have been inspired by love. i have been inspired by heartbreak. i try to take everything that comes at me in life. there have been times in my life that i didn't handle things... right. but even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.

The obsession with gold, actually and politically, occurs among those who regard economics as a branch of morality. gold is solid, gold is durable, gold is rare, gold is even (in certain very peculiar circumstances) convertible. to believe in thrift, solidity and soundness is to believe in some way in the properties of gold.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
