Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace.

Al principio, se creo el universo.

Eso hizo que se enfadara mucha gente, y la mayoría lo considero un error.

Muchas razas mantienen la creencia de que lo creo alguna clase de dios, aunque los Jatravartidos de Viltvodle VI creen que todo el universo surgió del estornudo de la nariz de un ser llamado Gran Arklopopletico Verde.

Los Jatravartidos, que viven en continúo miedo del momento que llaman “La Llegada del Gran Pañuelo Blanco”, son pequeñas criaturas de color azul y, como poseen mas de cincuenta brazos cada una, constituyen la única raza que ha inventado el desodorante en aerosol antes que la rueda.

Sin embargo, y prescindiendo de Vitvodle VI, la teoría del Gran Arklopopletico Verde no es generalmente aceptada, y como el Universo es un lugar tan incomprensible, constantemente se están buscando otras explicaciones.

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

Todos somos ateos respecto a la mayoría de los dioses en los que han creído las sociedades. Algunos de nosotros solo vamos un dios mas lejos.

Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
River Tam: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um...What?
River Tam: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics - doesn't make sense.
Book: No, no. You-you-you can't...
River Tam: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River Tam: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat.

Firefly S01E04, Jaynestown

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

John Masefield, "Sea Fever"
