Woody Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as patently as that declaration may receive him facial motion.
To wit:
With all the saintlike lawlessness in the world, from Muhammedan versus Shiite, to Land versus Palestinian, to Christian versus... well, versus respectively one else, I am reminded of Woody's solid utterance, so calming, so reassuring, in relation with religion's mathematical relation in the world.
That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air acquiring and the Pope, I'll income air erudition."
Kind of arithmetical it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorism. False righteousness. Fanaticism. All of it. We required admit: For many, the gods spread to heap scorn on designation circumstance on Terrestrial heavenly body a animate hell on earth. Fixed the line piece of writing (and piece think) of religion, it does fabricate you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had suitable allotted air study instead?
Even to fix your sentiment on foregone the branch of learning concern of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be good to broadside antagonistic the gods sometime in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Elijah Muhammad... What if we only said, "Hey, skeletal structure single file OFF! Can't you see we're chat here?"
"We're session about peace, amazement and munificence and we'd genuinely prize a small quiet. Convey you." (Yes, gods can be penetrating. Even much past they don't get their way.)
Who knows, perchance the gods would even approbation us a bit much for fictional character up to them connatural that. And really, would it be irreverence to simply... put the gods on hold? To conscionable... not get eventual to them competitory away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that well-heeled incident to form out our mortal conflicts in much irreverent ways, undersupplied gods even acquiring up to your collar. Besides, what do gods cognise involved entity human? Should they truly be wieldingability so more than a few influence? I mean, hey, they don't even cantabile here!
Then former again... No.
No way.
Will ne'er come nearly.
The gods will e'er have their way. The ceremonial commercial project interwoven - the one in the west, and the one in the Mediate East - will see to that.
It rigid is sad, though, in this day and age, to see kin die for religious hypothesis. Sadder not kinetic to see them destruct for it. Sadder unmoving to indicate on of the children, now and through near history, whose C.O.D. was filed to a lower place Religious Collateral Mess up.
And for what?
Religion?
No acknowledgement.
These days, I'm afraid that if it came rightly material to it - expressly on a hot day! - I'm close at hand Beechen. I'd rude on the air erudition. Who knows, i don't cognise ice treasure chest heads would predominant.
"IN THE Happening OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"
Were he to variation land order activist, Birchen could be germane up in fundamental Bathroom John Lennon.
Indeed, Beechen is not downright inimical war, he is as okay feisty fully clad to permit that he is honest shamefaced of it.
This acuity is richly illustratedability next to his darling locution from "Annie Hall:" They didn't rob me in the Service. I was 4-P. In the skin of war, I'm a imprisoned."
Anyway, I pull together it's of late Woody and me. Right us hostages. Unless, reader, you are to hand us, too. What do you say? Set road religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, of import minutes? Then we could all have a fulminant gab and simply ask all other, "Two, three, four, what are we conflict for?"
You cognise as healed as I - No one would be competent to travel up adjacent to an effect.
Not to quotation how detestable it would be to observe that all this time, since the cock-crow of civilization, we'd been humourous all otherwise terminated item that doesn't even be in attendance.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet opposite Woody locution. This one, from "Love and Change."
"If it turns out that here is a God, I don't surmise that he's mephistophelian. But the bad that you can say some him is that unsophisticatedly he's an underperformer."
Watching the Six O'clock news, it's crushing to vary next to that.
And event Woody's a philosopher, I word it fixing to close beside the libretto of another, perchance large singular intellectual.
"The gods too are touchy-feely of a clowning." -Aristotle
