vampireapologist:

i’d love to meet hozier but like getting his autograph wouldn’t be enough like it would with other ppl whose art I like

like ideally I’d want to stumble upon hozier barefoot in a marsh and he’s ALSO barefoot in the marsh and I’m like “hey……i see that ur barefoot” and he says “yes” and I say “cool, cool i’m also barefoot” and he says “yes” it’s 40 degrees F and then nearby a great blue heron lands and we watch it hunt in silence for two minutes and when i look back, hozier’s gone. but when he looks back, i’m gone.

were either of us ever really there

One may observe all the laws and still be practicing a disguised polytheism. For if in performing a religious act one’s intention is to please a human being whom he fears or from whom he hopes to receive benefit, then it is not God whom he worships but a human being.
