Advice on Battling the Gods February 17,2005 “The only thing we can be certain of is that there is no certainty—including that one. Committed to being uncommitted, we should relish the irony of our position. Knowing what we know, we should stand closer to outsiders than insiders, remembering how the gods love to divide. So we should make alliances with poets and protesters, rarely with priests and politicians. We should not expect to win many battles against the world’s tyrannous addiction to idols, nor should we ever allow ourselves to be defeated by it.”Richard Holloway, former Anglican bishop of Edinburgh |
