And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

The animal is one with its life activity. it does not distinguish the activity from itself. it is its activity. but man makes hislife activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. he has a conscious life activity. it is not a determination with which he is completely identified.

Theologians and philosophers, who make god the creator of nature and the architect of the universe, reveal him to us as an illogical and unbalanced being. they declare he is benevolent because they are afraid of him, but they are forced to admit the truth that his ways are vicious and beyond understanding. they attribute a malignity to him seldom to be found in any human being. and that is how they get human beings to worship him. for our miserable species would never lavish worship on a just and benevolent god from whom they had nothing to fear.

What is an artistic picture? an artistic picture is very simple. the creator is not the producer. the creator is not the star. the creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. the creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. that is an artistic picture.
