da433 was nice to inform me about a contest going on. So here is my submission.

Another option, for the title, if you prefer that more, is: "jesuit theologian"( poisoning everything he touches), what is pretty much the same

Contest name:
Apocalypse Contest

in dA-Morgue

Skill level: Advance, I was told Traditional. Was made with pen on paper.

Some quotes from :
Apocalypse Now

“I like the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like... victory.”

Lt. Col. Kilgore: They were going to make me a major for this, and I wasn't even in their fucking army anymore. Everybody wanted me to do it; him most of all. I felt like he was up there waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out like a soldier. Standing up. Not like some poor wasted rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead. That's who he really took his orders from, anyway.

Capt. Benjamin Willard: Part of me was afraid of what I would find and what I would do when I got there. I knew the risks, or imagined I knew. But the thing I felt the most, much stronger than fear, was the desire to confront him.

Capt. Benjamin Willard: The crew were mostly kids; rock & rollers with one foot in their grave.

“I used to think if I died in an evil place, then my soul wouldn't be able to make it to Heaven. But now? Fuck! I mean, I don't care where it goes, as long as it ain't here .”
Frederic Forrest - Jay 'Chef' Hicks

“- Roxanne Sarrault: Do you know why you can never step into the same river twice?
- Willard: Yeah, 'cause it's always moving.”
Aurore Clément - Roxanne Sarrault

“- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.
- Colonel Walter E. Kurtz: It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane and that your methods were unsound.
- Colonel Walter E. Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir!!!"

“I agree with yours of the 22d that a professorship of Theology should have no place in our institution. but we cannot always do what is absolutely best. those with whom we act, entertaining different views, have the power and the right of carrying them into practice. truth advances, & error recedes step by step only; and to do to our fellow-men the most good in our power, we must lead where we can, follow where we cannot, and still go with them, watching always the favorable moment for helping them to another step.

[Comment on establishing Jefferson's University of Virginia, a secular college, in a letter to Thomas Cooper 7 October 1814]”
― Thomas Jefferson

"Religious faiths and creeds have greatly hampered our development. They have absorbed and wasted some fine intellects. That creeds are getting to be less and less important to the average mind with every passing year is a good sign, I think, although I do not wish to talk about what is commonly called theology...

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. I earnestly believe that I am right; I cannot help believing as I do... I cannot accept as final any theory which is not provable. The theories of the theologians cannot be proved. Proof, proof!...

The thing which most impresses me about theology is that it does not seem to be investigating. It seems to be asserting, merely, without actual study..."

Thomas A. Edison

"When one speaks to another man who doesn't understand him, and when the man who's speaking no longer understands, it's metaphysics."

Voltaire
