The "sample" on the end of "The Seven Tounges of God"...

[dreaming neon darkspot]

This kind of "mechanical" sounding voice saying "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." And then the sounds of children laughing... When I first heard that, it made me think of a father or a grandfather, or just some "elder" reading these words out of a book, to his children. Like the elder trying to... enforce this idea on the mids of the younger generation should they ever find themselves without a god, by way of their own idleness, like just having fun like children so that they can never forget it.
I don't know, I just listened to PoE for the first time in a while and thought of that again *shrugs*

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

i've heard that sample of children laughing on commercials before, i just know it was the same

 

[Captain Beard]

Boobs.
Hmmm... Well, it was used for a good purpose this time, at least. I need to talk to WD and see if he'd ever seriously make that parody Marie Callendar's commerical I thought of, video OR audio.

does anyone know who that quote is originally from?
haha seeing as its my sn i should probably know

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I don't know where that is originally from, but the meaning behind it is psychological, that if God did not exist, we would invent him anyway to explain what cannot be explained.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

yeah i get what it means, just want to know who originally said it
I think Neizche but i am not sure

 

[internally grateful]

aww... you're so knowledgable...

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him."
Voltair ( i am so sure i spelled that wrong) , Voltaire or how on Tate's name it is written, said that quote
Voltaire was a christian
and that quote accepts that there is a God

 

[neal]

no it doesnt.
-neal

 

[IOfTheStorm]

yes it does
Voltaire's main philosophy was that 100% there is a God
"if he did not exist" = he does exist

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

whether he said he does or does not exist, i don't care... i like the quote...

 

[IOfTheStorm]

me too
