Whether you like it or not, we have god as a problem, god as a speed bump in the middle of the road, god as a pretext for hatred, god as an agent of disunity... But no one dares mention this most prima facie evidence in any of the many analyses of the question; be they political, economic, sociological, psychological, or strategically utilitarian in nature... It is as if a kind of reverential fear, or a resignation to what is established as politically correct, has prevented the analyst from seeing what is present in the threads of the net, the labyrinthine weave from which there has been no escape-that is to say, god... If I were to tell a Christian or a Muslim that the universe is made up of more than four billion galaxies, and that each one of them contains more than four billion stars, and that so-called god, whether Allah or some other, could not have made this, and even better would have had no reason to make this, they would reply indignantly that for god, whether Allah or some other, nothing is impossible... Except apparently- we would argue-making peace between Islam and Christianity, by way of reconciling the most wretched of the animal species said to have been born from his so-called will, the one made in his so-called image, that is, the human species... In the physical universe there is neither love nor justice... Nor is there cruelty... No power presides over the four billion galaxies and the four billion stars that exist in each one... No one makes the sun rise each day and the moon every night, even when it is not visible in the sky... Since we were put here without knowing why or what for, we have had to invent everything... We have invented god too, but s/he didn't go beyond our thoughts; rather, s/he stayed inside our heads, at times as a fact of others life, almost always as an instrument of others death... We're able to say, "Here is the plough we have invented," but we cannot say, "Here is the god that invented man who invented the plough..." Many cannot eliminate this so-called god from their minds-because of extreme programming... But let us at least discuss it... It is no use saying that killing in gODD's name makes so-called god a killer... To those who kill in gODD's name so-called god is not only the judge who will absolve them, he is also the powerful Father who in their minds used to provide the firewood for the autos-da-fe and now prepares and orders the planting of bombs... Let's discuss this invention, let's solve this problem, let's recognize at least that the problem does exist... Before we all go insane... And from there on, who knows??? Maybe that will be how we'll manage not to go on killing one another anymore...
