A painting of a man standing on a rock in the middle of a large body of water

""Violence A goblin told me that God was metaphorical. Well metaphorically when I come to the end of myself he's got a lot of the same questions as me. Said he's drowning beneath an ocean of dogma and liturgy and the waves keep pulling him further out to sea while whatever the water uncovered underneath washes up exposed on the beach.
