Man is by nature good,
but his fellow man isn't.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

Surprised you chose this one. Do you agree with this statement?
this statement reflects our thinking about ourselves. i find it very amusing, don't you?
reminds me of the story about the pharisee in the temple praying quite proudly, as a poor wretched sinner nearby is also praying and unable to get past his own unworthiness. after jesus tells this parable he says: "everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted." luke 18:9-14
Yes, I would absolutely agree with you. Was Verhoeven being ironic--or was this before the time of irony?
toon verhoeven is alive and well and living in holland (with his tongue in his cheek).
