Is Julian by Gore Vidal worth reading?

>> No.23391551

ORIBASES.
My noble Princess——
JULIAN.
It is the physician, Helena! [_He takes her hand._] No, here, where I stand.
HELENA.
[_Tearing her hand away._] Faugh! there he was again!
JULIAN.
She does not see me. Here, here, Helena!
HELENA.
The loathsome creature;—he is always about me.
JULIAN.
What does she mean?
ORIBASES.
Stand apart, gracious lord——!
HELENA.
Sweet stillness! He does not dream——; oh my Gallus!
JULIAN.
Gallus!
ORIBASES.
Go, noble Caesar; it is not meet——!
HELENA.
How boldly your close-curling hair curves over your neck! Oh that short, thick neck——
JULIAN.
Abyss of all abysses——!
ORIBASES.
The delirium is increasing——
JULIAN.
I see, I see. We must take note, Oribases!
HELENA.
[_Laughing softly._] Now he would be taking notes again.—Ink on his fingers; book-dust in his hair—unwashed; faugh, faugh, how he stinks.
MYRRHA.
My lord, shall I not——?
JULIAN.
Away with you, woman!
HELENA.
How could you let yourself be conquered by him, you great-limbed, bronzed barbarian? He cannot conquer women. How I loathe this
impotent virtue.
JULIAN.
Stand apart, all of you! Not so near, Oribases! I myself will watch the Princess.
HELENA.
Art thou wroth with me, thou glorious one? Gallus is dead. Beheaded. What a blow that must have been! Be not jealous, oh my first and last? Burn Gallus in hell fire;—it was none but thou, thou, thou——!
JULIAN.
No nearer, Oribases!
HELENA.
Kill the priest, too! I will not see him after this. Thou knowest our sweet secret. Oh thou, my days’ desire, my nights’ delight! It was thou
thyself—in the form of thy servant—in the oratory; yes, yes, thou wast
there; it was thou—in the darkness, in the heavy air, in the shrouding incense-clouds, that night, when the Caesar growing beneath my heart—

JULIAN.
[_Recoiling with a cry._] Ah!
HELENA.
[_With outstretched arms._] My lover and my lord! Mine, mine——!
[_She falls swooning on the floor; the slave-girls hasten
forward and crowd round her._
JULIAN.
[_Stands for a moment immovable; then shakes his clenched fist in the
air, and cries_:] Galilean!

He's probably referring to AGW, or more broadly pollution on a mass scale. Some countries do intentionally fuck up their environment for generations. I don't personally believe in not developing hundreds of miles of land because of some random desert lizard, for example, but certainly mass dumping trash, toxic waste, etc. into the surrounding area with no regard for more effective and less damaging techniques as some countries do is fucking disgusting and not only unpleasant to see and live around, but damaging to future generations.

>By putting intention behind what man called good, God was produced. By putting intention behind what man called bad, the Devil was created. Leave this "intention" out, and gods and devils fade away.

>If not a human being existed the sun would continue to shine, and tempests now and then would devastate the world; the rain would fall in pleasant showers, and the bow of promise would adorn the cloud; violets would spread their velvet bosoms to the sun, and the earthquake would devour; birds would sing, and daisies bloom, and roses blush, and the volcanoes would fill the heavens with their lurid glare; the procession of the seasons would not be broken, and the stars would shine just as serenely as though the world was filled with loving hearts and happy homes. But in the olden time man though otherwise. He imagined that he was of great importance. Barbarians are always egotistic. They think that the stars are watching them; that the sun shines on their account; that the rain falls for them and that gods and devils are really troubling themselves about their poor and ignorant souls.

It’s the cultural critique some make that the injunction in Genesis man would have dominion over all the fruit-bearing trees, animals, etc., and these were created for him to dominate over and use to his needs as he wishes, led to a disrespectful attitude towards the environment engrained in the West. I wouldn’t even be surprised if some of the conservative evangelical base maybe uses justifications like this, but I myself don’t find it that likely an explanation for the whole mindset behind this. The real reason is probably much simpler: a fat paycheck.

Only humans could articulate this idea, which is its own vindication. (Of the "for our sakes" part specifically, whether or not the world was created is out of scope for refuting the "humans are just like other animals" angle.)

Most production was outsourced to China due to increased cost and regulation which make it more difficult and costly to produce things here. Be aware that the very legislation designed to stop the pollution you're worried about didn't end up fixing anything, it just exported it to another place. It's also worth pointing out that this was the decision and result of a handful of oligarchical businessmen, not "the west" collectively. 99% of people don't have any say where cheap plastic knick-knacks are made. However what we all do have, is the ability to choose for ourselves what we purchase.

The bottom line here is that if you think pollution is such an issue, you should take it upon yourself to purchase items and products that minimize that, say for example by buying more expensive locally made items rather than cheap Chinese ones, but I'm willing to bet you also don't do that, so be careful where you levy that accusation of hypocrisy.

>Why should the human race think itself so superior to bees, ants and elephants

Because we obviously are. This isn't something we have to think about, it's a given point of fact. We are literally superior to those creatures. We are the dominant animal on the planet. Whether God exists or not, and whether God intended that or not, it is the reality in which we find ourselves. The rest of it is him anthropomorphizing those animals in ways they are not capable of acting or thinking, which just further proves my initial point.

Maybe most Christians don't actually look to God for all of their decisions.

Really, the Bible and Christianity are more like outlines on how to live your life.

I don't think that Christianity actually requires such deference from people even if they do intend to "enter heaven."

But if people choose to follow the Word more closely, that is certainly their decision.
