Considering the source, the meaning seems quite obvious. :shrug:

It's obvious.  If it was a quote from Jerry Falwell, maybe I'd think it had something to do with God's fierce judgment, but it was Hunter S. Thompson, and therefore the meaning is self-evident.

But carry on thinking that it is very mysterious, if it pleases you. :shrug:

So, in your opinion, it is possible that someone who did not believe God existed would be expressing a religious sentiment?  :confused:

Actually, I'm just saying that it is not a complicated quote, considering the source.  HST was an irreverent, amoral atheist, who believed in anarchy & personal responsibility.  :shrug:

This is not a quote from one of his books, nor is it explained by him, so you could certainly claim that there is no way for us to know for certain what he meant by it.  You could also say the same for every single quote attributed to someone who is deceased & did not spell out the exact meaning of everything they ever said. :rolleyes:

My claim is not that I have a view of the inside of HST's head (ewww...), but rather that this quote is simply not subject to a great deal of interpretation.

Hunter S Thompson's books were written in an evocative manner.
He always made use of "I" and "WE", with the purpose in making the reader able to understand that what was happening was being interpreted through his own eyes... go figure :smirk:

I don't know if it was written in one of his books or not. It doesn't make the point of the discussion that you yourself opened.
Let me refresh your memory and remind you what were you arguing about. :smirk:
You said:

Quote:

What was written along with this quote in one of his books could make it mean something completely different. Perhaps he was taking on a perspective of someone else, or poking fun at something specific ect…




This came as a reason to demonstrate that, if it was in one of his books, it could be somebody else's view, not his own.
And my answer was that, even in this case, it would still be his own opinion. For the reason I stated earlier: all his books are written in an evocative manner (they are written in the first person, which is a clear sign of assuming the role of the interpreter the of story that's being presented). In this way, ""Call on God, but row away from the rocks." automatically becomes Hunter S. Thompson's perception upon the story. :sorry:

Am I getting through to you? :tongue:

Call on God, but drink Grey Goose vodka on the rocks (with a twist of lime)! :yesnod:
