Meinen Grund tuschen, den ich ablehne, denn das ehrliche Denken ist mein Ziel; Und das ist, warum ich selten vage Wrter wie Seele verwende. In Angelegenheit ausgedrckt bin ich sicher, da diese Welt von unserem definiert werden kann; Und so mit den unverstndlichen Theorien verwirre ich nicht meinen Verstand; Und obwohl ich ihn mehr oder weniger verwende, alkoholische Szenen beschreibend, wei ich nicht, ich mu bekennen, welcher Geist bedeutet. Wenn ich diese kosmische Szene berblicke, scheint die Bezeichnung "Schpfer" absurd; Das Universum ist immer, Kreation nie ist aufgetreten gewesen. Aber in meinem Lexikon des Zweifels schlgt es mich definitiv ungerade, ein Wort, das ich nie flout traue, eine Silbe der Gebirgsshout, drei Buchstaben an, die die Sterne heraus buchstabieren: GOTT.
