Acid Test



Acid Test

No, no, no! Eliminate the irrational
Emotions that fight your determination
Rising feelings that strike with guilt
Destruction must be what you’ve been taught

Deny the most basic of self-immolation
The curse that you’re fallen because you’re human
Guard against the spiritual, the superstitious, that’s most preposterous
Any belief or doctrine, you know the ridiculous

The very fountain of evil is the opposition of reason
The very soul of destruction is the denial of logic
There can be no faith and reason, for that is intellectual treason
There’s only faith or reason, it’s so for every season

The danger of the irrational is sublime acceptance
Pandering to self-righteous emotions and tautologies
Beware of traditions that usurp individual thought
Nothing must require acceptance, everything must be open as in court
