Rollercoaster Platinum

when the brain is on vacation

Dear readers, namely
dear me, as I drank coffee on television recently aired a great cultural debate of high profile, distinguished guests and competent, on .. . horoscope! It seems that short
Santaromanachiesa is annoyed by the omnipresence of the horoscope in Italian TV, accused of vulgar superstition and false idolatry.

In other words: a basket of snails from the horned ass!

Ben looked at me from defending the horoscope, astrology, and any other form of idiocy stellar. But that is just nonsense to accuse this church, I am a bit 'funny.
At this point, fire-proof.

Lately, for professional reasons, I'm very interesting leggiucchiando various materials, ranging from the Bible to the Gospels, the writings of the Fathers of the Church to the greatest philosophers of the last 2500 years. And I never laughed so much in my life.
But this is much laughter, much love: on the basis of those rumors, those stories, those stories - some of which are credible as the ravings of a drunk Tavernello - were decided the fate of millions, probably billions of people in the history of Western civilization.
Indigenous peoples of North and South Africans, Europeans and even the non-believers or "different" than the precepts of Santaromanachiesa, in fact, have fueled fires, oiled and perfumed the air fields with their bodies, just for not having believed in "the mysteries of faith" which the immaculate conception, papal infallibility, the value of miracles, or shit is good and beautiful as donations to the church by emperors and kings. Thousands of years of power built on nothing, about something that is unprovable, and even - according to those in power - did not need to be demonstrated. Crazy stuff!
The promise of an afterlife is still oil on the fire of real pyres on which you are sacrificing thousands of Muslims, Christians, of Hindus, and who knows how many others around the world. When you see the poor wretches who are ready to blow themselves up, to be massacred, losing family, freedom and everything in the name of a god or a religious doctrine, we should stop and take a step back.
But no, he insists, waving religious precepts, giving pearls of wisdom drawn from Bible stories - written by whom, when, how, we do not know - and it continues to deceive, to deceive, and kill.
be clear, I do not have only the Catholic Church, or Christianity in particular. I have it with all those doctrines that impose more or less violent or subtle, life choices that exclude freedom of thought. When I see a woman with a burqa, or a man who twists his mouth in front of a condom, or someone who is horrified in front of a butcher, I feel an immense despair. Why are we still in the "third millennium" (but in fact the millennia of civilization - or soi-disant this - there are many more), ignorance and superstition still rule. We have seen this before
choices of conscience, as well as in everyday life: abortion referendum on assisted procreation, hysterical reactions to an Islamic prayer in front of a church, or a rosary said in front of a mosque. Guys, wake up: it is as if one is in front of a scaccolasse Caravaggio painting. It will not be chic, but no one will call upon the gallows for this. That, and this should be on everyone's mind, the value of a gesture, a symbol, habit, and it is ridiculous that even today there are those who argue the opposite, relying on two pieces of wood arranged perpendicular to a value who did not. A cross, in itself, does not mean anything. The moral advice by Jesus, already would be worth something. But never fear: the church has done everything to push them into a corner from which it probably will not ever come out.
So why do not we begin, once and for all, to think about serious things and give them faith, hope in life after death and the ethical considerations conscience of each, and the private sphere?
In our capacity as human beings we have no way to reason and think of something better and more useful to us all. We would not even have to behave more like wild beasts in the wild, thanks to technological and scientific advances, and yet - with all our luggage quite moral, ethical and religious - continue to live in this fucked up part of the world at the expense of billions of poor bastards The vast majority of the planet.
That 's what the religion teaches us? Well. So live your horoscope! Or I know, living Aspirin (NSAIDs have no other outside of me, except Aulin; not want the pad to others; honors the blister and carton, do not chew; do not tell falsehoods about Bayer, etc., etc. ... precepts are nice, eh?)!
Let us realize that a lot of bullshit, bullshit that we cling to mask our ignorance about the nature, the universe and its origins, about the future and the present. Comfy palliatives which allow us to save time and energy by not thinking. And Realize above all that these superstitions are costing us very, very expensive!
