An anonymous reader writes:
“The only reason why you keep posting your garbage on this forum
is that no editor in his right would publish you in his paper.”
My reply:
“For your information, editors who decide
what gets printed and what gets rejected
are not men of superior literary judgment
but cowardly idiots like you,
afraid to offend the sensibilities of their brainwashed readers
and potential advertisers on whose goodwill they depend.”

A SERMON
****************************************
God has no reason to hide from us.
He is within us as well as around us.
If we are blind to His presence,
it's because we have failed to develop our faculties.
A dog's sense of smell is far superior to ours.
A cow has many more taste buds on its tongue.
Idiot savants have remarkable powers
of perception and calculation
incomprehensible to the average man with a normal IQ.
Rats can predict tsunamis and earthquakes better
than our most sophisticated instruments.
These achievement have been made
not by an act of will or choice
but by allowing nature to take its course.
Which may suggest our limitations are of our own making.
As children we are dependent on received ideas.
As adults we are predisposed to respect authority
even when authority is in the hands of liars and criminals
who pretend to know better.
Popes and imams: variations on the same theme:
fascist megalomania.
Crusades and jihads: premeditated, cold-blooded massacres
conceived by blood-thirsty barbarians
who speak in the name of God
even as they do the Devil's work.

ON LOVE AND RELATED ATROCITIES
**************************************************
Love: a biological malfunction that blurs the line
between reality and illusion.

One of the first questions
that an Armenian asks about another Armenian:
“What does he do for a living?”
Second question:
“How much does he make?”
In my case, the two answers are:
“He scribbles,” and “Nothing.”
*
“I think therefore I am?”
Not so fast.
If you are an Armenian, it would closer to the truth to say,
“I think, therefore I am not.”
*
If a Jew is ever elected president of the United States,
an extremist group will identify him
as a former agent of the Mossad
whose forefather was not Adam
but the Serpent.*
*
I have been taken in so many times by my fellow Armenians
that I now reserve my trust only for an Armenian
who speaks against his own interests –
not something that happens every day.
