march 2008
On numerous evenings, the english speaking prisoners relax and analyze topics, from airplanes to zoology. Tonight´s subject: man´s greatest invention. which invention of the brain plays the biggest part in directing destiny.
Opinions differed, from the wheel, the printing press, the throwing stick, electricity, sailboat, shoes... After a heated debate including the utility, the improvement of standard of life or the point of view, the final determination all agreed upon was the invention of a living god.
I am not talking about the almighty engineer who created a cosmos. we know nothing of this infinite entity with powers that originated macrocosm. bAny answer we can give on this subject are metaphors for what we cannot grasp.
An example is the theoretical Jehovah´s bestowal of the 10 commandements, which the catholic church has altered to promote nordic supremacy. Any portrayal of God or angels are blue-eyed blonds. As a child i asked a priest " are there any black or chinese angels?" >I´ll never forget his answer: " don´t be ridiculous."
So this depiction is the supreme invention of man, and we all agreed.
