Before I meditate and write about awareness and religion (
as per my promise in my comment), today I will share my thoughts on the topic: What if the enlightened ones were bloggers?
Let us start with Buddha. If he had a blog, readers would be bored in no time. All posts on his blog would have the same message, "Day 1... I sat under a tree and meditated." "Day 2... I sat under a tree and meditated." "Day x... I sat under a tree and meditated." You get the point.
Jesus, in my opinion, would be a great blogger. A bit like Instapundit and David Copperfield merged into one. His blog would have posts about unbelievable miracles everyday. And his "About Me" introduction would start with sentences like, "I never had a father to start with. Well, in a way, I did, but that's too complicated for you to understand."
Of course, posts on his blog would highlight miracles he performed everyday. For example, "I taught a blind man how to fly a B-52 on IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)." Or how about, "I helped a lame man run and win the Olympics' gold medal."
And his early morning entries would be, "I spent the entire night drinking vodka from one bottle. And the bottle kept pouring itself whenever I finished my drink."
And what about Prophet Mohammad's blog? It would be like Freddy Krueger Online!
"Chop the heads of infidels!" ... "Chop more infidels!" ... "And while you are busy chopping, circumcise your dicks! That's extra skin he forgot to remove when he made you. And castrate those who don't want to be circumcised!"
You think all this sounds funny? Well, perfectly sane looking people seem to believe it for more than two thousand years.
I know I will receive hate mail for this post. I might even have my head chopped off by fanatics on the streets, this afternoon. But I am not afraid. The voice of reason should brighten the dark crevices of sick human minds. And I am that voice.
Think about what I have written. And consider it as a brief introduction of my upcoming threads on enlightenment and wisdom.
Insanity is a disease. And one form of insanity manifests itself in the form of religious fanatics.
Peace.
