Essential Question #7

In this book we see how humans behave when authority and law are no longer existant. In relation to Question #6, how does the way the man and boy behave fulfill religion as simply a way of life rather than a struggle, like today, to force upon others what you believe, be unsure of what you should believe because of ignorance and distrust, ect...?

People should be tolerant of all religions and show others the respect they deserve.

Quotes

"He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like groundfoxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it."
"You have to carry the fire. I don't know how to. Yes you do. Is it real? The fire? Yes it is. Where is it? I dont know where it is. Yes you do. It's inside you. It was always there. I can see it."
"... there is no other dream nor other waking world and there is no other tale to tell. On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world. Query: How does the never to be differ from what never was?"
"The world shrinking down about a raw core of parsible entities. The names of things slowly following those things into oblivion. Colors. The names of birds. Things to eat. Finally the names of things one believed to be true. More fragile than he would have thought. How much was gone already? The sacred idiom shorn of its referents and so of its reality."
"There is no God and we are his prophets."
