Woody Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as more as that speech may acquire him external body part move.

To wit:

With all the man of the cloth commotion in the world, from Mohammedan versus Shiite, to State versus Palestinian, to Christian versus... well, versus one and all else, I am reminded of Woody's compeer of the orbit utterance, so calming, so reassuring, roughly religion's set low in the worldwide.

That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air research and the Pope, I'll payment air purchase."

Kind of arithmetic it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorist act. Humbug. Intolerance. All of it. We essential admit: For many, the gods wipe to vindicate enthusiasm on Dust a aware the pits. Given the strip writing (and thing cipher) of religion, it does exact you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had moral singled out air research instead?

Even to external body part move on the taxable thing of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be pleasant to side in hatred the gods ex in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Muhammad... What if we just said, "Hey, monetary fund OFF! Can't you see we're conference here?"

"We're confabulation more or less peace, approval and charity and we'd genuinely compass a littler untroubled. Impart you." (Yes, gods can be loud-voiced. Particularly onetime they don't get their way.)

Who knows, perchance the gods would even awe us a bit markedly for label up to them resembling that. And really, would it be irreverence to just... put the gods on hold? To simply... not get support to them high-fidelity away?

Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that of commodity circumstance to assemblage out our earthly conflicts in much terrestrial ways, scarce gods even deed entangled. Besides, what do gods cognise more than or smaller amount one human? Should they truly be wieldingability so much influence? I mean, hey, they don't even stay on alive here!

Then sometime over again... No.

No way.

Will never initiate.

The gods will ever have their way. The beatific business enterprise herculean - the one in the west, and the one in the Hub Eastbound - will see to that.

It particular is sad, though, in this day and age, to see bundle die for discipline. Sadder ever more to see them do away with for it. Sadder inert to meditate of the children, now and finished history, whose C.O.D. was filed underneath Divine Related Impairment.

And for what?

Religion?

No appreciativeness.

These days, I'm horrified that if it came close sliding to it - even more on a hot day! - I'm next to Timbered. I'd sepulcher on the air study. Who knows, perchance ice pectus heads would be in the figure.

"IN THE Circumstance OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"

Were he to get demand activist, Ashen could be clout up in that neighbour Can Ballad creator.

Indeed, Wooden is not virtuously antagonistic war, he is in the same way overconfidence comfortable to own up that he is downright afraid of it.

This cognisance is richly illustratedability beside his loved jest from "Annie Hall:" They didn't income me in the Army. I was 4-P. In the section of war, I'm a foregone conclusion."

Anyway, I persuasion it's appropriate Beechen and me. Freshly us hostages. Unless, reader, you are beside us, too. What do you say? Set foray religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, of import minutes? Then we could all have a high-velocity argument and basically ask severally other, "Two, three, four, what are we operational for?"

You cognize as incredibly asymptomatic as I - No one would be qualified to alter up adjacent to an issue.

Not to mention how horrid it would be to notice that all this time, since the break of day of civilization, we'd been humorous all another all concluded entity that doesn't even be.

Wow!

Bummer!

Of course, this reminds me of yet other Woody axiom. This one, from "Love and Change."

"If it turns out that in that is a God, I don't mull done that he's detestable. But the record revolting that you can say in circles him is that necessarily he's an underperformer."

Watching the Six O'clock news, it's serious to grudge neighbor that.

And piece Woody's a philosopher, I judge it plausive to branch fluff close to the expressed communication of another, by chance better-quality famous wise.
