That’s where.
A better question for all three of you would be “Where did I say I was proving the existence of God”?
I’d never tackle the fool’s errand of claiming to prove or disprove God. Especially when I can tackle the infinitely simpler task of proving that you guys don’t have the knowledge you think you do.

It's from the author of "Eat, Pray, love" on how she believes that genius is an external spirit that comes to us, same as the muse.BjornP wrote: Fri Jan 11, 2019 12:10 pm Deep, deep down in the deepest layers of hell we all shall be consigned to sit with laptops nailed to our laps, debating in an eternal "Atheism is not a belief system" thread.

She also takes issue with the fact that artists are seen as "doomed" and fights the narrative of the only truth path of artistry is this unhealthy self-destruction that leads ultimately to death, which has been the case for many of our greatest artists. Says this started post-enlightenment when we started seeing the muse as individual rather than spiritual. States that the ancients believed the muse to be a connection with the divine and something to be celebrated, instead of art being something one suffers.
It's a good watch.
