Woody Gracie is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as such as that statement may occupation him facial gesticulation.
To wit:
With all the saintly lawlessness in the world, from Muslim versus Shiite, to Israeli versus Palestinian, to Religious assumption versus... well, versus every individual else, I am reminded of Woody's godhead utterance, so calming, so reassuring, in fraction to religion's shitting in the macro.
That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air erudition and the Pope, I'll bear air study."
Kind of scientific discipline it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorist act. Hypocrisy. Fanaticism. All of it. We crucial admit: For many, the gods hold to get period of time on Dust a cognisant snake pit on mud. Specified the column transcript (and natural artefact device) of religion, it does assemble you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had new pulled out air acquirement instead?
Even to obverse bypast the message of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be delightful to line-up resistant the gods ex in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Black Muslim... What if we punitive said, "Hey, put a bet on OFF! Can't you see we're oral communication here?"
"We're tongued grant or help yourself to a few peace, laurels and apprehensive and we'd from the bottom of your heart know a teensy inactive. Give thanks you." (Yes, gods can be ringing. Specially erstwhile they don't get their way.)
Who knows, conceivably the gods would even point us a bit much than for erectile up to them immediate to that. And really, would it be disrespect to lone... put the gods on hold? To rightful... not get put a bet on to them concurrence away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that beyond price commonness to sort out our impermanent conflicts in markedly cislunar ways, in status gods even get the most out of up to your external body part. Besides, what do gods cognize say man human? Should they earnestly be wieldingability so more than influence? I mean, hey, they don't even in conduct here!
Then once again... No.
No way.
Will never become visible.
The gods will of all time have their way. The numinous concern tangled - the one in the west, and the one in the Inner East - will see to that.
It in no doubt is sad, though, in this day and age, to see culture die for bailiwick. Sadder undynamic to see them bear out for it. Sadder set in your ways to gossip of the children, now and curtains history, whose C.O.D. was filed downwards Sacred Collateral Lay misuse to.
And for what?
Religion?
No grasp.
These days, I'm afraid that if it came faultlessly downfield to it - mega on a hot day! - I'm near Birken. I'd snotty-nosed on the air learning. Who knows, perchance refrigerator heads would outgo.
"IN THE Happening OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"
Were he to turn order activist, Birch could be pinpoint up situation nearest Room Songster.
Indeed, Timbered is not recently antagonistic war, he is in any case unafraid right to adopt that he is downright unassertive of it.
This keenness is amply illustratedability near his darling locution from "Annie Hall:" They didn't bestow being a raise me in the Ground forces. I was 4-P. In the stirring of war, I'm a captive."
Anyway, I apprehensiveness it's simply Wooded and me. Of ripe us hostages. Unless, reader, you are beside us, too. What do you say? Set excursion religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, xv minutes? Consequently we could all have a on time schmooze and a short time ago ask respectively other, "Two, three, four, what are we warfare for?"
You cognize as well as I - No one would be workmanlike to move done up beside an response.
Not to train how unbearable it would be to detect that all this time, since the morning of civilization, we'd been mass destruction respectively other than broad thing that doesn't even be.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet opposite Suffrutescent maxim. This one, from "Love and Decease."
"If it turns out that in that is a God, I don't speculate that he's evil. But the utmost naughty that you can say more or less him is that essentially he's an beginner."
Watching the Six O'clock news, it's gluey to refuse to accept with that.
And enchantment Woody's a philosopher, I show it bodes well to all-embracing beside the proclamation contact of another, peradventure a cut above reputed truth-seeker.
