The most ridiculous story ever told
Diego Source For
I'm atheist. No agnostic but an atheist. Deny the existence of God. How awful, how can you deny the existence of god? Prove. To paraphrase the great Richard Dawkins in his legendary talk TED 2002, answer, not for me to prove the non-existence of god. Ye are believers, you have to prove that God does exist.
Personally, I deny the existence of unicorns, centaurs and the city planning council members honored. God is just one more thing I do not believe. Why not, I could defend the existence of a coffee pot orbiting Mars, found a religion around that, accused of heresy for anyone who denies it, and also asked to justify that belief is not some kind of failing test to burn at the stake. It is curious that the outer coffee will be a disservice to anyone with half a brain, and the religion.
I know a few eminent scientists and engineers who are also deeply religious. People who know the efficiency of the scientific method and to trust in this method the construction of airplanes, ships and bridges they depend on human lives. And never fails. What is surprising is that these same people then swallow the immense wheels of mills of religious dogmas.
If I tell a theoretical physicist I have built a machine that contradicts any of the principles of thermodynamics, it is impossible to tell me, show me on paper, and not even give me the opportunity to teach my design. However, if this is also a theoretical physicist at some point there will be Catholic had to swallow and take on things like Jesus of Nazareth was born of a virgin, performed miracles while contradicting several principles of thermodynamics and rose again and ascended into heaven, among other pearls.
amazes me so severely for some things and so little for others. So meticulous about certain things and so relaxed and permissive in others. Especially when some things and some are contradictory, because the multiplication of the loaves and fishes and the law of conservation of mass does not seem so at first glance, too compatible. At first scientists thought that these believers were able to distinguish between myth and reality, but I'm afraid I was profoundly mistaken.
A believer does not think that their religion is a myth. I do think that their religion is a myth, but they do not, because they believe in it. I think it is very important to distinguish between myth, parable and reality. To discern between historical fact contrast, natural law and mythological tested empirically more or less invented for the purpose of telling a story with a moral. You can extract good habits and good teachings of religions, even without being a believer. You can also draw good lessons from the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings, and yet know that what is there really has not happened. If this is taken too seriously, there is a danger that someone will actually come to believe that Gandalf was a historical character, Sam, the hobbit, heroically defeated a giant spider in the legendary battle of Torecha Ungol during their annual pilgrimage to Módor, and stop selling stamps commemorating the victories of Sam, the hobbit, kingdom against arthropods.
Not long ago I returned from a trip to Syria and Lebanon, two countries that I had to know the Middle East. There is something in that area of \u200b\u200bthe world that attracts me greatly. Perhaps the sea of \u200b\u200bcontradictions in which they live each and every one of its inhabitants. Contradictions that would be great fun but for the devastating consequences and social policies are having on the area.
There are 2 types of Muslims in this world: Sunni, representing 90% of Islam and the Shiites who are the other 10%. The main difference between them lies in a nephew named Ali Mohammed. The Shiites believed that Ali was the rightful successor of Muhammad, Sunnis do not. Oh, no? Then I split. And do not be attached on Facebook.
From the year 632 in which this has happened to date, have not only agreed, but have diverged more and more to the point of provoking war by a "pull me off of here this nephew. " Very similar to the rivalry between the Judaic Popular Front and the Popular Front of Judea in the Life of Brian, but macabre. In 1948, the UN shoehorned the state of Israel in what was known as British Palestine. In a kind of religious Archimedes principle, the entry of Jews displaced Palestinians (Muslim Sunnis in full) out of its container, and many of them were to fall to the pan of Lebanon. There they met some nice and bundled Christian Phalangists of God is Christ (pun intended) triggering the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990). Moros against Christians. Only had to drop a calf for the people. And that heifer was called Israel, which used the confusion to put a few tanks in a neighboring country with the excuse of helping Christians.
Not that the Jews have been historically well with Christians (it was the Jews who condemned Jesus Christ to the cross and made rich with Mel Gibson), but between Christians and Palestinians, the truth, there seemed lots of color. What about the Shiites? Then there is the amazing thing: Instead of siding with the Sunnis (Muslims as they, after all), took to the streets to cheer the entry of Israeli tanks, simply because they were to support the Christians who were in against the Sunnis. They are crazy these Assyrians. These same Shiites are the ones who are now Hezbollah, an environmental NGO status collecting rubble of Lebanon, gets into a rocket and launches them into the neighboring country for recycling. And living god who recycle. The recycle and return multiplied by one thousand.
There is a stunning mosque in the old city of Damascus, the Umayyad Mosque (the Umayyads were precisely those that were charged to the famous nephew of Muhammad Ali, whom Shiites are). Beside the mosque there are several posters of Bashar Al-Assad leaves (the local cacique Sirius and possibly the most photographed the planet type) embracing Hassan Nasrallah, secretary general of Hezbollah, a Shiite pro, and thus staunch follower Ali, who, I repeat, just loaded the Umayyads. It's as if the square of San Pedro had a picture of Pope playing Parcheesi with Luther. We have lost the north.
And you can not say that the other side of the Jordan River are much better than the head. It's probably not too well known fact, but when David Ben Gurion founded the state of Israel in 1948 with the blessing of the UN, found its most stubborn opponents ... Orthodox Jews. Why? Sit it is fireworks. Depending on the version of The Lord of the Rings of the Jews, the state of Israel should be re-found only after the arrival of the Messiah. And how will we know the arrival of the Messiah? Very simple: when the messiah will rise dead are buried on the Mount of Olives (Jewish cemetery now) that after brushing your teeth come into Jerusalem through the Golden Gate, ravage the city, along with messiah will rebuild the Temple of David, where now there is a mosque refounding and the state of Israel. And now, Ben Gurion, that you find. Send eggs. With how easy it would be that the Messiah was to appear on Twitter announcing their good news.
how horny is that the Arabs are serious about this nonsense and do not miss it, have walled Golden Gate of Jerusalem, because hey, with jet-lag going to be dead when you wake up, I do not climb walls are made. That and build a cemetery next to Arabic Mount of Olives, too bad we have to give it reaches El Salvador, wake the dead Jews and Arabs let sleeping. Of course, when the messiah in question is mounted as the Puerto Hurraco. Zombie version. This and only this (his opposition to the formation of the state of Israel in the 48) is the reason why the Orthodox are the only Israeli Jews are free to do the military, and also receive a state grant for go through life banging his head against a wall. There is a state that pays its citizens to give your head against a wall while waiting for the revolt of the zombies. Very strong.
These nuts, that would be endearing locked into any asylum, are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths that has claimed conflict with Palestine and Israel that has lasted over 60 years. These guys are basically sticking a long time because of a stone. A stone that, according to The Lord of the Rings Jew, was where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his only son Isaac as a test of faith toward God, and where an unidentified angel (I suspect the Judge Garzón) hand stopped him and gave him a sheep which was formerly Isaac, because hey, the case was to kill something, and it's rude to leave Abraham with the ax in his hand. On top of that stone Solomon built his temple, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed and David were reclassified to the Romans finally cease carrying especulatoria such madness.
It is unfortunate that the same stone appears in The Lord of the Rings Islam as the place where Muhammad ascended to heaven. The same stone, not the next. So the Arabs took their passage through the area to build an Islamic temple on the rock in question and the famous esplanade surrounding the mosques, so that today Muslims pray just above where the Jews were banging their heads. And all this with the blessing of the international community. I personally am in favor of putting the stone into orbit and send them all to stick by it to the International Space Station.
Religion is a tool invented by man, and which once served to die more calm, explain the unexplainable and speaking with some significance. Mankind has evolved and religion. Their role has been shrinking due to advances in science and although it remains a useful tool for many people should know not to narrow it becomes a boomerang and you end up starting an eyebrow. It must be very well educated people in the secular arts and be very careful with what is said about religion, because it is very easy to mix with the elves Jesus Christ, to think that Gandalf is as real as Socrates or Julius Caesar and spoil a whole society whose sole obsession is to find the ring of power and take it to Mordor to destroy it.
