The Creation of Adam


The Creation of Adam is all the more beautiful and humbling because of its hidden neuroanatomy. Perhaps Michelangelo is suggesting that god is created within the human mind. I'm inclined to believe he was a closeted atheist. (His closeted homosexuality is a fact.)  


I've come to realise that all religions demand a suspension of logic. If a hobo told you that fairies live at the bottom of your garden, you'd hopefully exercise a healthy degree of skepticism and investigate before coming to your own conclusions. The only difference is that the crazy hobo is a man that your friends and family seem to respect. And there happens to be a lot of incense, candles and choir. It becomes another way of finding belonging and acceptance.

I find there are far more elegant answers to life's questions.
