I'm All Out of Faith

What do you think?

Kind of feel like I did about Estes' work. It has a certain "Isn't that amazing?" factor, but is it art? People do pay a lot of money for it.

What I really worry about is the point at which "seeing is believing" won't work, and we wind up with faked images and videos of all types of situations that could have been concocted on someone's computer. Then everything will become "take it on faith", and who knows where we will wind up. Kind of where we are now with arguments on the "authenticity" of the gospels according to Judas, as if we ever had any guarantee of the "authenticity" of the other gospels, the Koran, the old testament, the Kama Sutra. Well, at least that one is empirically verifiable...

I love him to pieces.
