But that was a lot of years ago, but Alvin had a son named Jesus ... I think? Levon was all about the money and Jesus .. well we'll talk about that later. Anyway, Levon is keeping tradition with the family plan and shall be a good man. Do you think God is dead?

"God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died."— So be ye warned against pity: FROM THENCE there yet cometh unto men a heavy cloud! Verily, I understand weather-signs! But attend also to this word: All great love is above all its pity: for it seeketh—to create what is loved! "Myself do I offer unto my love, AND MY NEIGHBOUR AS MYSELF"—such is the language of all creators. All creators, however, are hard.— Thus spake Zarathustra.
Here's a thought .. if the creator/s are all loving and all mercuful, meaning from never truly beginning to the never ending end of, how hard and severe do you think the wrath of might be towards those Who ... Umm ... Oppose that love and mercy?
This theme, "is God dead," was quite topical in early 1966 capturing headlines on the NY Times, Time Magazine and many local rags. Something similar surface later on when the meme became "is Paul dead?"
Healthy are those with healthy mind. Some are in so much need and so determined to live under old paradigms coupled with an insistence to refuse the very things they need to be well that the need is nearly beyond comprehension, but there's a light, albeit a tiny one that still shines in that kind of darkness. The sickness is sometimes so severe the very thought of being different parylizes and they become so filled with fear they can't even seem to think. Yes ... Some are in dire need of help. Live and let live, freedom to be, and don't force us to be like you is a decent rule if thumb. No harm no foul, but when forced wills and unhealthy minds clash ... Disaster soon follows.
