UPCLOSE?

Relativity Theory: Salvador Dali

Turning statements into questions is annoying?
So, actually, murdering people is, like, wrong?
I think therefore she was?
God can prevent evil but chooses not to? So, an immoral God?
God cannot prevent evil? Not omnipotent then?
God is dead? Maybe.
The repugnant are desirable?
There are two genders?

Women adapt?
We must learn to acknowledge our own prejudices?
Being able to discriminate is the litmus test of intelligence?
A cat is not a dog?
Art for art’s sake?
Money creates taste?
Morals are for the little people?
Trump. Nurture? Nature?
Private property is theft?
Necessity is the monster of invention?
Every cloud has a silver bullet?
Democracy enfranchises the mob?
A stone in a pool breeds many Satans still?
A rose by any other name will smell like rotten teeth?
A joke is the hole through which reality whistles?
One life, one encounter?
Thinking makes us?
Hot Rats?
