Ernst Jünger quote #383 from Eumeswil

Religio as we know harks back to a word re-ligio meaning bond and that is precisely what the anarch rejects. He does not go in for Moses with the Ten Commandments or indeed for any prophets. Nor does he wish to hear anything concerning gods or rumors about them except as a historian - or unless they appear to him. That is when the conflicts begin.So if I state in order to pray I am following an innate instinct that is no weaker than the sexual drive - in fact even stronger. The two are alike insofar as foul things can happen when they are suppressed.
