250: The following posting previously published; now revised and enhanced, and highly recommended: WHO MADE WHOM AND WHO CREATED WHOM; GOD OR MAN?

30 April, 2008

The following posting previously published; now revised and enhanced, and highly recommended: WHO MADE WHOM AND WHO CREATED WHOM; GOD OR MAN?

WHO MADE WHOM? WHO CREATED WHOM? WHO INVENTED WHOM? WHO DEFENDS AND PROTECTS WHOM? AND WHO PROVES AND/OR JUSTIFIES THE PRESENCE AND EXISTENCE OF WHOM; GOD OR MAN?

This is A MESSAGE for Christians and Moslems in particular, and the peoples of any and all Religions and Beliefs in general; all over the world – of any and all sects or cults and any and all religious denominations – past, present, and future.

To those of you out there who might think (and believe) and say I am an Atheist, or an infidel (Kaafer), or a blasphemer; I say: “I do not believe in God the kindly old man with pure white hair and a pure white beard who is all-merciful, all-compassionate and all-forgiving. What I believe in is my concern; and upon that ‘day of judgment’ which all clerics – Buddhist, Judaistic, Christian, Moslem – brandish like a sword over our heads in order to convince or coerce us to dip deeper into our pockets and put more money into the collection-tray (they no longer use trays; they now use large and light plastic buckets because they hold more), I shall see what I shall see and face what I shall face – unwavering and unflinching!”

Dear readers and fellow-Apes; this is by I, myself, and me, so when I refer to my late beloved Mama and Papa; I mean my late beloved Mama and Papa. BY GOD!

There was a time, once upon a time, when I did not only believe in GOD, but in Santa Claus, too. Santa Claus was exposed to me early in my life. He turned out to be my late beloved Papa. I was 5 at the time. It was Christmas Eve, and I was supposed to be fast asleep, but I wasn’t. Boys will be boys. I caught him putting on the outfit and the mask. He saw the look of surprise and shock in my face, so he sat me gently on his knee and explained it all to me. My late beloved Mama heard the commotion and joined us and tried to help, because even at that tender age, I understood how it was he all along who worked hard and struggled to provide for us while my Mama cared for and looked after us and our home. I was very angry, and I blamed him and my Mama and the rest of them for letting that Imaginary Old Goat take all the credit for it. I cried very hard all that night and would not be consoled, and I refused to receive my X’mas presents until after my Papa had taken off the ridiculous costume and mask, and put on his pyjamas. By then my Mama had made me a cup of hot chocolate with milk.

As for GOD; he was exposed much later in my life. It was on a dark and rainy Monday morning during Religious Studies class. I was about 15 at the time but even then, my mind was as sharp as a Bushido Sword. I asked the teacher, who was also the local vicar: “If God at first created Adam and Eve, and we are all descended from them, then where did the Africans with black skins, thick lips, and wooly hair; the Asians and Chinese with yellow skins, round faces, and slanted eyes; the Red Indians of North America; the Eskimos; the Aborigines of Australia, Etc, all come from?” He explained it to me, and since then I have looked for explanations of the explanations of the explanation. HORSE-SHIT; THE LOT!

That teacher-cum-vicar thought he’d gotten away with his explanation, which was full of lies and vague contradictions and vagaries, gotten the better of me, and gotten away with it. He did not know me very well, did he?

During Friday’s Religious Discussion class I launched my next attack: “If this is a class for Religious Studies, why are we studying Christianity only? Did you know that there are students of at least one other Religion, Islam, in the class?” His answer was: “Each to his own kind, and each to his own religion, Daniel.” I told him: “But we did not choose our religion; we were born into it. Have you, the Christian vicar, and we, the Christian students, no respect or thought for the others’ feelings? What would we feel like if you were a Moslem Sheikh and we were discussing Islam only?” His answer: “Well, Daniel, thank God I’m not, you’re not, and we’re not.” He expected the rest of the class to laugh at what he thought was a very clever, sharp, and funny retort, but they didn’t. They could see nothing clever, sharp, or funny in the situation. My next question was: “If we are to believe in The Bible which, in my not-so-humble opinion, is a book of the Jews, by the Jews, for the Jews; and has nothing to do with the rest of us – and/or most other religious books, booklets, and pamphlets –

First: GOD made or created Adam and Eve out of dust, knowing fully well that dust is the worst and weakest possible material anyone (or any GOD) could use to create or make anything (ask any chemistry student) – let alone living, breathing, walking, talking, but unthinking and unknowing APES!

Second: HE made or created Adam and Eve whole – as Man and Woman – and fully naked, too, to boot. I ask you! Then HE tossed them into – actually imprisoned them in – A Garden of Eden and told them everything in there was theirs but warned them not to touch or even go near The Tree of Knowledge let alone eat its fruit of see-all, know-all, understand nothing. Wasn’t HE supposed or required to have given them a small mind at least to discern right from wrong? AND! Knowing fully well that they were illiterate and ignorant – they hadn’t yet eaten the fruit – HE did not bother to assign an angel to guard The Tree and watch over them! No average decent sensible parents would ever leave their children alone without a nanny or at least a baby-sitter to watch over them – to prevent them from sticking their fingers into electric sockets, playing with matches, touching or breaking objects, drinking any toxic liquids, or plain fighting and hurting themselves, or watching the wrong programmes on TV Etc.

Third: HE did not tell them about or give them HIS Ten Commandments from the onset – they wouldn’t have understood them or known what HE was talking about – they hadn’t yet eaten the fruit. They had to wait for thousands of years for Moses to come; then wait for decades for Moses to free them from The Land of Bondage; then much later, go up the mountain and spend (40) days writing them down.

Fourth: The very first mistake or sin this poor miserable couple made or committed, HE kicked them out of The Garden and assigned an angel, this time, to drive them out into the jungle or wilderness – alone, naked, and helpless! Mind you, according to The Bible, they were the very first humans, so there were no other humans on the planet at the time; only the beasts. I wonder if HE had created the dinosaurs by then or long before then (that is another story or topic for another day)! And they say HE is kind, merciful, compassionate, and all-forgiving! I ask you again! If HE had given them a little mind or sense in the first place, and if HE had taken the necessary precautions in the second place, like assigning an angel to guard them and the tree, they wouldn’t have done what they did and we all wouldn’t be where we are today. AND! Later, HE had the nerve and the gall to tell them or US: “Dust thou art; and to dust thou shalt return!” TOO MUCH! BY GOD!

DO ALL THESE MAKE ANY SENSE TO ANY OF YOU OUT THERE

If GOD made or created US, then HE is supposed or required to prove and justify OUR existence, and tell US who WE are; where WE came from; why WE are here on this miserable and extremely fragile marble, this doomed puny planet, earth, in the vastness and awesomeness of the universe; what WE are doing here: and where WE are going from here; AND! Defend and protect US. BUT! If MAN made or created or invented GOD, then all is as it ought to be.

Let us pause for a while and spare a thought, but not a prayer or a wish, since prayers and wishes won’t wash the dishes or pay the bills or put food on the table – or on the ground, for those that have no homes or tables! Yes! Let us spare a thought and a dime or a penny for the 40,000 children that die of starvation every day; and the billions of people that have died, and are still dying; from Man-made wars, Man-made weapons and other tools, instruments, and war-machines; Man-made accidents by Man-made vehicles and means of transportation; Man-made diseases, pestilences, and plagues – bacteria and viruses do not come from the thin air; they come from decomposed or decomposing corpses and rotten or rotting rubbish or garbage; and faeces, urine, and other body-wastes and toxic chemicals; all Man-made; and natural phenomena or disasters, which have become more violent and frequent because of MAN, and his tendency to destroy or misuse or over-use nature’s resources; BUT; which are all attributed to or blamed on A MAN-MADE GOD!

NB! All of the above are not due to the indifference or negligence of the advanced countries – the third world, or backward countries, blame the advanced countries and accuse them of the above; they expect these countries to share the results of decades of hard work and prudence with them – or to any other reasons or causes, but due to Mankind’s powerful and irresistible tendency and inclination to breed like rabbits, thus creating over-population, which in turn creates poverty, and which in turn creates frustration and desperation, Etc; and Mankind’s envious, greedy, selfish, vain, vicious, vindictive, cruel, malicious, and mischievous nature – in other words; his natural and irresistible tendency and inclination to revert to his origins: APES, or large monkeys!

Germany and Japan were down to the ground – so to speak – and the USA, Britain, and France, Etc, were not much better off after World War II; but today, they are prosperous and considered World Powers. And they and the Oil-rich countries do what they can to help them. Also, it was MAN who thought of and created organisations like The Red Cross and Red Crescent, UNICEF, Caritas, S.O.S, and all the other various Humanitarian Organisations. In other words; ever since MAN first appeared on earth up till now and henceforth, MAN only can either kill or maim; or protect, defend, help, and sustain, MAN; not GOD! BY GOD!

To those of you out there who might want or decide to ask: “So what is your point?”

I say my point is: “Since we do not choose our religions as they are forced upon us by the circumstances and the geographical locations of our births; and since MAN is a creature of habits, the product of his environment, and the victim of his circumstances; no people should ever take their religion or sect/cult too seriously or to extremes; and no people should ever presume to be, or adopt or usurp the positions or posts of, or pretend to be, the defenders and protectors of their individual or collective GODS, and attempt to justify THEIR existence or non-existence – most of them use that as a reason and an excuse to coerce, con, dupe, intimidate, manipulate, convince and/or exploit others to serve their own whims and quirks or aims and goals; and if that fails, kill them.”

Let the GODS fight THEIR own battles, and defend and protect THEMSELVES, and justify THEIR presence and/or existence; if THEY can!

An Almighty, Ultimate, and Omnipotent GOD WHO could create the universe and all life-forms, and yet requires or needs, or even orders or instructs MEN – puny mortals, and weak but wicked worms – through the too many religious and other leaders and clerics, to defend and protect HIM, and to prove and/or justify HIS existence, does not make any sense to me – not a single iota of sense – at all!

So ENOUGH OF THIS HORSE-SHIT OF JIHADS AND CRUSADES AND OTHER LAME RUSES AND EXCUSES TO FIGHT WARS AND KILL ONE ANOTHER IN THE NAME OF GOD!

Not all of us are asinine asses, banal baboons, blind bats, craven cowards, deaf and dumb ducks, fumbling fools, gullible gulls, idiotic imbeciles, jerky jackasses, limping lemmings, moron monkeys, naïve nincompoops, or obtuse ostriches with bird flu in the brain! SO CEASE AND DESIST!
