Daniel Akill-Attieh's Blog | 85: JUDAISM, BUDDHISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM

Dear Readers and Fellow-Apes; 2008 was a Murky and Hapless Year! Let us hope that 2009 does not turn out to be even More Murky and Hapless!

I intentionally did not wish you a Merry Christmas, because Christmas is another story for another Posting at another time; and I do not wish you a Happy New Year, since I believe that ONLY FOOLS ARE, OR CAN BE, HAPPY ALL YEAR ROUND. I do, however, wish all of you A GOOD YEAR! With a little Good in one's life, one can be a little happy, which is all one can ask for in one's short sweet dream one calls a life-time. BY GOD AND SATAN!

A Jack of many trades and master of all; I am honest to the core and I hate lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and stoic compliance; and I despise – and actually pity – Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack

I expose and reveal the lies, deceits, pretensions, hypocrisy, treachery, betrayal, and blind, deaf, and stoic compliance, and Human-Apes who follow-the-herd-or-pack; I tell or write the truth; and I say what I mean and mean what I say

I fear nothing; least of all, death

If I must fear anything at all in life, then let me fear what I think and know of myself; because, in the end, one’s knowledge and opinion of oneself is what counts most. All the world may think and believe one is such and such, but one knows one is such and such. Also, I like to look in the mirror and like what I see and know about me.

I invite comments, remarks, criticisms, and even insults – so long as they are straight to the point, in order for me to correct or adjust myself accordingly. What I do not welcome and won’t accept or tolerate is HORSE-SHIT!

Dear readers and felow-Apes; with every page, every report or article, every paragraph, every sentence, every word, and every letter; I thank you for taking the trouble and the time to read My Not-So-Humble Comments.

85: JUDAISM, BUDDHISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM

01 January, 2008

JUDAISM, BUDHISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM

JUDAH, BUDDHA, JESUS, AND MOHAMMED

JUDAH: Biblical figure (Prophet) in the Old Testament; name of the fourth son of Jacob; one of the 12 tribes of Israel and the basis of Jewish Social and Religious Laws

JUDAISM: The Religious Culture of the Jews (also known as the people of Israel); one of the world’s oldest continuing religious traditions

BUDDHA: Prophet. App.563-483BC

BUDDHISM: A major world religion; founded in northeastern India and based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama also known as the Buddha or the Enlightened One

JESUS: Prophet. Bet.8-4BC-App.29AD and the central figure of Christianity, born in Bethlehem in Judea – to me, JESUS as A MAN and A PROPHET is easier to swallow than JESUS as THE SON OF GOD! BY GOD! If HE had truly been THE SON OF GOD, no man could have laid a finger on HIM and no nail could have pierced HIS flesh. In fact, no weapon and no bomb – nuclear or whatever; past, present, and future – could have had any effect on HIM whatsoever. HE would have made superman seem like a helpless and starving new-born baby abandoned at the door of an orphanage!

CHRISTIANITY: the most widely distributed – widely distributed does not mean IT has the most followers – of the world religions, having substantial representation in all the populated continents of the globe

MOHAMMED: Prophet. App.570-632AD; last prophet of Islam, whose revelations encompass political and social as well as religious principles. Mohammed had to face and contend with the most backward and barbaric people on the planet - composed of too many tribes and clans "beni" that are always feuding and fighting and killing each other over triffles - and 366 Gods: idols, images, icons, statues, Etc.

ISLAM: One of the three major world religions along with Judaism and Christianity that profess monotheism or the belief in One God, although the Christians have managed to divide HIM into three equal parts – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; just like an egg: the shell, the albumen, and the yolk – JEEZ! Also widely distributed, if not even more so, and having substantial representation in all the populated continents of the globe

All HOLY HOLIDAYS are not the properties of any one Religion or Sect/Cult or Religious Denomination! Jews, Buddhists, Christians, and Moslems are all on their separate ways toward the same GOD they all created or invented – as a reason or an excuse to be either benevolent or brutal whenever, according to their moods and, especially when it suits their whims and quirks and, more especially when it fits in, or complies with and/or conforms to their way of thinking and their way of living, but most especially when IT SERVES THEIR PURPOSES AND/OR ACHIEVES THEIR AIMS AND GOALS!”

Let us assume – hypothetically – that GOD and HIS HEAVEN are somewhere on the North Pole. Now, let us assume – again hypothetically – that the world’s Religions and their sub-divisions – sects/cults Etc – are spread separately along the Tropical Latitude. To get to Heaven, each member of each Religion would have to travel by plane; and each plane would fly in the same direction – northwards; BUT! All the planes would be travelling on separate and different routes at separate and different angles! BUT AGAIN! They would all land at the same airport in Heaven, eventually – if Heaven exists, that is!

If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you too many times already; that to me, both HEAVEN and HELL begin with a Capital ‘H’ and so does HORSE-SHIT!

Another assumption – also hypothetical – when people in the north of Lebanon travel to Beirut, they go south; and when people in the south of Lebanon travel to Beirut, they go north. Likewise, when people in Irbid travel to Amman in Jordan they go south; when people in Mafraq travel to Amman in Jordan they go west; and when people in Ma’an or Aqaba travel to Amman in Jordan they go north; Etc, and so forth and so on. The same could be applied to all countries.

Furthermore, we do not choose our Religions. They are forced upon us by the circumstances and the geographical locations of our births. It just so happened that we were born in such and such a place (city, town, village); in such and such an area where such and such a Religion is practised; in such and such a country. That’s all.

Also, we would do well to remember that MAN is a creature of habits, the product of his environment, and the victim of his circumstances.

In the end, it’s not WHO or WHAT you are, or WHAT your Religion was, or WHERE you came from or HOW you came; it’s WHAT you did along the way!

If one were a Moslem, and one had neighbours, who were one’s friends, too; and those neighbours were Jews or Buddhists or Christians; and they were celebrating their individual Religious and/or Holy Festivity or whatever, and they invited one – as a neighbour and a friend – would one refuse to attend simply because one is not of that particular Religion? And if one is celebrating one’s Religious and/or Holy Festivity or whatever, and invited those neighbours, would they refuse to come for the same reason? I ASK YOU!

ENOUGH HORSE-SHIT! Because, in the end again, it’s all a ruse and an excuse – a source and a means – to Divide and Rule, and to Manipulate and Exploit – in short, to Dupe, Con, Cheat, Lie To, Steal From, Intimidate, and Screw – the (M)ASSES – to put it as mildly as possible without straining it!

However, the ASSES – that's MASSES without the ‘M’ – subconsciously deep down in a remote but very sharp corner of their brains know this and that is why Moslems need large loud-speakers and Christians need large loud bells to remind them and call them to prayer(s)! BY GOD!
