My Dentist Said To Me

It Was Apparent To Me That Religion Was An Invented Thing, A Wish-fulfillment Thing, A Fantasy Thing. It Was Much More Real, Dangerous, To Accept That Mortality Was The End For You As An Individual. As An Atheist, I Don't Believe In An Afterlife, So If You're Thinking Of Murder, If Your Subject Is Murder, Then That's A Physical Act Of Absolute Destruction Because You're Ending Something, A Body, That Is Unique. That Person Never Existed Before, Will Never Exist Again, Will Not Be Karmically Recycled, Will Not Go To Heaven, Therefore I Take It Seriously.

I Never Thought I Was Doing The Same Thing As Directors Like John Carpenter, George Romero, And Sometimes Even Hitchcock, Even Though I've Been Sometimes Compared To Those Other Guys. We're After Different Game.

I Have A Real Aversion To Ghosts Because I Don't Believe In Them. I Think Ghosts Are Actually A Religious Concept, Because It Means You Believe In An Afterlife. And I Don't.

So Not Only Can You Not Imagine Dying, You Can't Really Imagine Existence Before You Were Born.

Since I See Technology As Being An Extension Of The Human Body, It's Inevitable That It Should Come Home To Roost.
