"Act justly and respect the divine. Help each other based on what we deserve. Don't screw each other over. Lying disrespects the divinity and truth. Avoiding pain and chasing pleasure is disrespectful too. The universe treats things equally. Don't disrupt the natural order. Follow the grand design. Be decent or you're a mess."
Book 9, Chapter 1

#Impiety

"What, to the #American slave, is your Fourth of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross #injustice and cruelly to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a #sham; your boasted #liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling #vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of #tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere #bombast, #fraud, #deception, #impiety, and #hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these #UnitedStates, at this very hour."

#July4th

#sdtps But you, the me will not be given to again see.”
Then the high #priest only #hearing what he wanted to #hear and with tearing his #robe of office, said to all,
“What more need do we have for #witnesses?
You, as I, have plainly just heard for yourselves the #blasphemy; the #sacrilege of it all!
What does it sound like to you, I ask you; what does it, look like?”
