Religious Beliefs

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

While we're on about this sort of thing, can someone explain Dada to me? I've yet to find a good explanation.. Wiki hasn't helped much either.

Ask Spike Milligan.

Well, I realise explanation is somewhat difficult, and probably contrary to its very essence, but a general idea of what it is, then...

1. Read more about Dada and the artists who worked inside that "genre."

b. Look at some examples of Dada-ist work.

pi. Decide for yourself.

I guess I'll just make my own definition. It's always worked for any other art I've tried.
Especially the art for art's sake.

But then, arguably it's not art. And that makes it art. I'm off to go wank my ego in some self-indulgence, I think.

"wee ur dee bip" as I do believe Marcel Duchamp said, no it wasn't him it was Kurt Schwiterz or was it...

...and ultimately, does it really matter? I like what I like, and that's good enough for me.

:eek: *follows the swing of the toppic from DaDa to architecture and thinks of the word:* "DaDaistic architecture". :eek:

I don't know what it looks like, but I definately don't want to live in such a house..

What is DaDa?

Richard Huelsenbeck: "Dada ist die Sonne, Dada ist das Ei. Dada ist die Polizei der Polizei." (DaDa is the sun, DaDa is the egg, DaDa is the police of the police)

Hugo Ball: "Was wir DaDa nennen, ist ein Narrenspiel aus dem Nichts, in das alle höheren Fragen verwickelt sind." (What we call DaDa is a jester's play out of the void into wich all higher questions are involved)

Apparently the only definition is that there is no definition for DaDa.
It's outside of meaning, stops making sense.
It's white noise of creativity.
as such, recombining what can't be combined, it's creation itself.

In a word: It's bÃœllsh*t.

Edit: And there is DaDaDaism.

I think I believe.

I believe I think.

But what do I think I believe in?

And what do I believe I think in?

Decide on deicide, decadence or destruction.

And the chosen few will always fued

Over who is more chosen,

The chooser, the chosen or the confused?
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.
