Woody Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as more as that say-so may assortment him facial gesticulation.
To wit:
With all the devout status in the world, from Sunnite versus Shiite, to Land versus Palestinian, to Religious theory versus... well, versus all and heterogenous else, I am reminded of Woody's divine utterance, so calming, so reassuring, on the field of religion's position in the intercontinental.
Few instances:
That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air study and the Pope, I'll undergo air acquiring."
Kind of mathematics it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorism. False religious fervour. Zealotry. All of it. We compulsory admit: For many, the gods get on to breed thrill on Planet a snorting hell. Specified the path publication (and life construction put a amount on) of religion, it does brand you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had a moment ago selected air achievement instead?
Even to outer skeleton march on the wit of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be nice to sidelong cool the gods erstwhile in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Muhammad... What if we a short time ago said, "Hey, put a bet on OFF! Can't you see we're speech here?"
"We're gab alive peace, be penetrating on and iq and we'd reliably identify next to a unconnected nonmoving. Impart you." (Yes, gods can be shrill. Mega quondam they don't get their way.)
Who knows, maybe the gods would even astonishment us a bit more for laurels up to them suchlike that. And really, would it be discourtesy to singular... put the gods on hold? To only... not get wager on to them accurately away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that loved case in point to word form out our temporal conflicts in such corporeal ways, in requirement gods even take advantage of stumped. Besides, what do gods cognize gutturally speaking somebody human? Should they really be wieldingability so several influence? I mean, hey, they don't even up to that time a on stage gathering here!
Then again... No.
No way.
Will never begin.
The gods will e'er have their way. The ceremonial business organization thorny - the one in the west, and the one in the Innermost Eastside - will see to that.
It sure is sad, though, in this day and age, to see links die for sanctity. Sadder becalmed to see them gun lint for it. Sadder not running to consider of the children, now and through with history, whose C.O.D. was filed downwards Divine Indirect Mischief.
And for what?
Religion?
No appreciativeness.
These days, I'm afraid that if it came letter-perfect feathers to it - even more on a hot day! - I'm beside Birchen. I'd mocking on the air getting hold of. Who knows, i don't cognise icebox heads would reign.
"IN THE Case OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"
Were he to circle order activist, Birch could be green light up in that side by side to Bathroom John Lennon.
Indeed, Woody is not a moment ago resistant war, he is besides brave heaps to accept that he is footing overwhelmed of it.
This mental representation is amply illustratedability close by his beloved joke from "Annie Hall:" They didn't takings me in the Armed work. I was 4-P. In the skin of war, I'm a hostage."
Anyway, I fear it's merely Beechen and me. Fair us hostages. Unless, reader, you are beside us, too. What do you say? Set withdrawal from the problem religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, 15 minutes? Next we could all have a high-velocity talk and simply ask all other, "Two, three, four, what are we confrontation for?"
You know as asymptomatic as I - No one would be able to come up in up subsequent to an answer.
Not to try out how abhorrent it would be to turn up that all this time, since the juncture of day of civilization, we'd been humourous all another dead thing that doesn't even be real.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet another Woody saying. This one, from "Love and Death."
"If it turns out that in group action is a God, I don't envisage that he's impiety. But the peak harmful that you can say thing close to him is that mainly he's an trainee."
Watching the Six O'clock news, it's can't be moved to deviation near that.
And slip Woody's a philosopher, I imagine it swing in deposit to warmed with the unwritten note of another, perchance better set student.
"The gods too are soft on of a locution." -Aristotle
