A man was feeling very depressed. He walked into a bar and
ordered a triple scotch whiskey. As the bartender poured him the
drink he remarked, "That's quite a heavy drink. What's wrong?"
"Wow" exclaimed the bartender, as he poured the man a second triple scotch. "No wonder you needed a stiff drink. The second triple is on the house." As the man downed his second triple scotch, the bartender asked him "What did you do?" "I walked over to my wife," the man replied, "looked her straight in the eye and told her that we were through and to pack her stuff and to get the hell out." "That makes sense," said the bartender, "but what about your friend?" The man replied, "I walked over to him, looked him right in the eye and said, 'BAD DOG! BAAAD DOG!'" |
After quickly downing his drink, the man replied, "I got home and
found my wife having sex with my best friend."
"When we look from our vantage of sophisticated scepticism at the phenomenon of belief in God we are not impressed. We see dogmatism, and proceeding from dogmatism, we see wars, inquisitions and persecutions. We see hypocrisy; people professing the brotherhood of man killing their fellows in the name of faith, lining their pockets at the expense of others, and practising all manner of brutality. We see a bewildering multiplicity of rituals and images without consensus; this god is a woman with six arms and six legs; that is a man who sits on a throne; this one an elephant, the essence of nothingness; pantheons, household gods, trinities, unities. We see ignorance, superstition, rigidity. The track record for belief in God looks pretty poor." M. Scott Peck � A Road Less Travelled |
Isaiah 9:18 |
At the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land quakes, and the people are like fuel for fire; No man spares his brother, each devours the flesh of his neighbor."
