when i was in school, i used to study religion. it was a crappy class, because of the pointless hour we were spending. learning again and again about orthodoxy -cuz this is what it actually was, not something interesting <for example religion's history>.religion can be a very interesting subject if you know how to put it in the eyes of your audience. religious dogma is a philosophy, and, if you don't have any clue of other types of philosophies, is pointless to call others ignorant.
anyway, there was this time when the teacher managed to create a more vivid reaction from my fellow colleagues, as i am naturally half asleep and the other half somewhere in the cosmos of my own imagination, and i was pretty much the same at that time. she <the teacher> put the question:"what will you do if today, at 7pm jesus will come on Earth?". no reaction, of course. she told us to write the answer on paper. i can't recall my own answer, but, probably i was hungry at the moment and, as 7 pm was close, i said i'll eat some maccaroni and cheese, or whatever my mum was kind enough to provide. others, ze believers, said they go to greet him<with capital h on their papers>, others that they won't be at home at that time, because the bus will still be taking them home, so jesus better find another hour to pop on Earth. etc.
the teacher seemed unhappy with our answers. what? what's wrong with macaroni? than she takes a deep breath and say:"if jesus comes on Earth again, it means THE END OF THE WORLD, dummies!" oh. shit! we're such ignorants!the end is coming and we are still on the bus?
of course, that's not the way the things really happen. well, not literally. thinking at the fact that this planet is bursting into curses against us, in its own way, and we continuously ignore the signals, it's pretty low for the human being who claim they're smarter and more capable than the rest of the fauna and flora we share the world with, to keep stretching the borders of cheeky behavior against our own home.
and we are indeed more capable. no other specie sabotaged themselves like we did. and still do.
so when the glaciers are melting, polar bears start disappearing, it's the end of the world dummies!
