While I don't particularly mind this being downvoted and would normally have expected it to be, I am slightly confused why this pantheistic anti-Bible quote is being downvoted while the pantheistic anti-Bible quote I posted it in reply to is being upvoted so much.
NMDV, but I have no idea what your quote is supposed to mean.
It ties into several pagan themes; this-worldliness, nature-worship, immanence, pantheism, anti-dogmatism and the continuity and durability of these ideas.
Okay. Well people here tend to like this-worldliness and anti-dogmatism but tend to dislike nature-worship, 'immanence' and pantheism. So that pretty much explains the downvotes.
Compare to the first one which is a poem about how science is way cooler than religion. It's like rationalist catnip. I wouldn't take it personally.
