this song goes out to all my fellow scientists and fellow atheists out there — lyrics:
The Policy of Truth (depeche mode)
"It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you'd only lied
It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth
....
Now you're standing there tongue tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth"
yeah ... couldn't have said it better myself hahahaha !! 😊 And yet.. and yet we can't help it can we? Once you head down the path of reality... once you decide in your youth on the policy of truth.. you really can't turn back, can you??
I've totally lost the ability to say things are True that aren't True, to say things are real that aren't real, to say I "believe" in anything, to say I accept anything without hard evidence... it's just not in me anymore, it's gone. Did I lose something? I'll never know !!
