Magnus Machina (c) Jan Cox

Two men were once having a discussion and the first said to the second, "I have come of the enlightened realization and certainty that truth will never be found in the inept attempts of science and technology. We must turn our attention back to the words of those divenely inspired teachers and prophets of God."
Then the second man replied, "Well, I have yet to meet a man on such close speaking terms with the cosmic powers, and I can only conclude that man must deal with life and himself, here and now, and must somehow, find his own way."
The first man spoke again, "You are a fool to speak in such a manner. Are we to believe that man is here alone? Are we to assume that he created himself? Are we to conclude that evil and injustice can run their unholy course unchecked? You are deluded by the senses, and you mistake finite substance for infinite reality/"
And the second man rubbed his chin and replied, "I see that the truth inflames your feeble mind. But the foolish have historically been enraged by the simple reality of life. It is useless to speak to one like you about the truth."
