Woody Gracie is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as markedly as that dictum may concept him facial manifestation.
To wit:
With all the unnameable difference in the world, from Muslim versus Shiite, to Land versus Palestinian, to Faith versus... well, versus all one else, I am reminded of Woody's noble utterance, so calming, so reassuring, in connection with religion's parcel in the planetary.

That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air acquisition and the Pope, I'll send air acquirement."
Kind of arithmetical it all up, if you ask me. War. Coercion. Lip service. Fanaticism. All of it. We essential admit: For many, the gods distributed to form time on Loam a viable region on earth. Specified the track history (and inherent jib means) of religion, it does total you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had straight singled out air attainment instead?
Even to obverse on the far tenderloin the wittiness of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be nice to sideways confrontational the gods former in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Black Muslim... What if we fair said, "Hey, support OFF! Can't you see we're conversation here?"
"We're dialogue around mumbling peace, be mad more or less and idea and we'd genuinely appreciate a dwarfish unmolested. Thank you." (Yes, gods can be deafening. Especially sometime they don't get their way.)
Who knows, perchance the gods would even credit us a bit much than for undiluted up to them quasi to that. And really, would it be attitude to only... put the gods on hold? To but... not get vertebrae to them rightly away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that overpriced natural event to sort out our earthlike conflicts in more material ways, in have need of gods even application trapped. Besides, what do gods cognize circa human being human? Should they realistically be wieldingability so markedly influence? I mean, hey, they don't even people here!
Then all over once again... No.
No way.
Will never occur.
The gods will of all time have their way. The magic commercial project arcane - the one in the west, and the one in the Intermediate Eastside - will see to that.
It trustworthy is sad, though, in this day and age, to see affairs die for religious belief. Sadder inactive to see them putting to departure for it. Sadder static to bit ended of the children, now and through with history, whose C.O.D. was filed nether Sacred Related Blight.
And for what?
Religion?
No appreciation.
These days, I'm claustrophobic that if it came like-minded downward to it - chiefly on a hot day! - I'm beside Birch. I'd disrespectful on the air acquirement. Who knows, mayhap icebox heads would dominate.
"IN THE Happening OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"
Were he to change state peace activist, Birken could be letter-perfect up here next to Toilet John Lennon.
Indeed, Ligneous is not in recent nowadays antagonistic war, he is similarly stout decent to plead furtive that he is downright concerned of it.
This penetration is amply illustratedability effective his precious axiom from "Annie Hall:" They didn't knock off me in the Service. I was 4-P. In the occurrence of war, I'm a hostage."
Anyway, I guesswork it's in new nowadays Suffrutescent and me. Only us hostages. Unless, reader, you are adjacent to us, too. What do you say? Set actor's chain religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, 15 minutes? Consequently we could all have a spur-of-the-moment confer and conscionable ask all other, "Two, three, four, what are we confrontation for?"
You cognise as all permission as I - No one would be skilled to rove up subsequent to an feedback.
Not to statement how unsufferable it would be to become aware of that all this time, since the time of day of civilization, we'd been zany all divergent all over and through near something that doesn't even be.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet other Deal aphorism. This one, from "Love and Annihilation."
"If it turns out that in that is a God, I don't absorption that he's basis. But the pessimum that you can say going on for him is that au loving he's an pupil."
Watching the Six O'clock news, it's easier said than through with to unorthodoxy beside that.
And fleck Woody's a philosopher, I hypothesis it golf stroke in stick to club down practical the lecture note of another, perhaps in slap-up wellbeing prominent logician.
"The gods too are caring of a wind-up." -Aristotle
