Godma




A: "So, religion."
B: "Pray, what be the reason to bring this nonsense up?"
A: "So that you congregation of agnosts and atheists may be illuminated. Thank God for religion."
B: "Huh. Shouldn't it be 'Thank religion for God'?"
A: "Aw, funny! I'm up for talking about your views. Through what you call acceptance-talking, you need to be shown the right way."
B: "Jeez, no. I have a gut-feeling you'll gut me."
A: "Being a follower, it is my duty to disseminate faith. I am God, speaking to you right now."
B: "You're talking in delusion and riddles."
A: "That's a lie!"
B: "That's a semantic syllepsis."
A: "Son, you need to diversify your intellect and understand God, for there will be light in your life."
B: "That was a metaphor."
A: "Good Lord!"
B: "Oxymoron."
A: " "Oh you, of little faith, why do you doubt me?" "
B: "Because you aren't for real and nor are you ever to be."
A: "Ah, however catchy that might sound .. "
B: " .. iambic pentameter, yes .. "
A: " .. you still want to leave earth for heaven."
B: "I'll get my DSLR. Is it outdoors, much?"
A: "You're missing the point. The point is you aren't a man of faith. And that we all, with His graces, need to rise above the dirt we were made from."
B: "Faith is not the point. The point is the point. The point is also that since we're all scum anyway, why bother?"
A: "Bother? With unfaltering belief, you shall see Him in every person and thing."
B: "Even that Willem Dafoe guy does not look like Jesus to me. Also, the fiscal growth forecast is bonkers."
A: "All you need is patience!"
B: "But patience was invented by Jews to annoy the Christians. Also, the Christians were invented by Jews to annoy themselves."
A: "Thus spake the atheist."
B: "You know, there's some symbolic self-defeat in those words because .. never mind. Stop poking my peace of mind."
A: "No, you listen! Slowly, you need to let go of your habits of drinking, smoking and playing cards. You must circumvent sin."
B: "You may not play poker but you certainly are one."
A: "So what, then, do you believe in?"
B: "Reasoning."
A: "Maybe your need to reason stems from your doubt, in other words, your lack of faith!"
B: "Yeah. It's like a unicorn, except you don't need to be high to see it."
A: "Child, your lack of faith is like this container of water .. "
B: "And lo, sauvignon blanc."
A: " .. [which] you must populate with only the purest .. "
B: " .. said Hitler to Goring .. "
A: " .. while discarding the unfit."
B: " .. as Darwin would agree."
A: "What?"
B: "Bose-Einstein condensates."
A: "I mean, remain equal with the universe, at the same time .. "
B: "You mean, like Kaldor-Hicks efficient?"
A: "Fuck off."
B: "Phnom-Penh."

  1. Is ''Reasoning' a good enough reason to discard the Faith of your ancestors? What bravado you must wield, to believe that you may not believe. I say... Aye, Why not?! :D

    "God", is traditionally an omnipotent and almighty being that pretty much is the answer to everything. That's where they all went wrong.

    "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding" - Prov.3:5 (The Holy Bible, at it's finest)

    That pretty much translates to "Hey, you must take this course - Ignorance 101!!". Treacherous, truly.

    Here's my take...

    God and religion, to me, are separate and cannot co-exist. God is not an entity... but an idea... an essence... an answer to that which is still unknown. My "God" evolves everyday (sometimes goes even non-existent)... and the shrinks as the days go by... all enabled by the collective Human intellect.

    If God is an entity, as per most religions... then it's nigh on impossible to alter that definition.

    Hence, the Church blinded Copernicus. Hence, a Fatwas are issued in general. Religion does not have room for change for it believes it is perfect.

    That's where it all went wrong...

    As, Sonal always says...

    "The world is not perfect... therefore, it is."

    Wow... almost wrote a blogpost here... O_O , all with an intro, body and cheeky dramatic conclusion.
