Alexandria
Thank God I am an atheist
The internet, libraries and an easy access to the overall knowledge gathered through history of the mankind come as a privilege Alexander The Great, a conqueror whose legacy laid the foundations of the Alexandian Library, the largest and the most magnificent temple of the ancient world’s knowledge, following his aspiration for collecting knowledges and readiness to recognize both religious and national differences (unfortunately, even the greatest minds of the ancient world didn’t take seriously the slaves human rights issue), once dreamed about.
For seven centuries, the library represented the very brain, heart and soul of the mankind and knowledges had been collected from all around with great enthusiasm before stored thereat. The Roman Empire and the religions in expansion considered the library a threat and had been therefore destroying it systematicaly through its very existence until the Christian fundamentalists finally finished the job in the fourth century, monstruously murdering Hypatia, the master librarian and the last in the line of great philosophers and scientists of the old world. By the destruction of the library, the mankind was subjected to lobotomy, and the consequences of this horrible act echoed in the darkness of a thousand years long period of inquisition (until the virtues of the human spirit were rehabilitated during the Renaissance) where the feminine divine principle was replaced with the masculine repressive one, and Jesus was inaugurated into son of god. His teachings and his deeds were misused in many terrifying ways by countless manipulators, opportunists and fanatics that, just like their successors are doing it nowdays, poisoned the mankind for the purpose of attaining their own goals. All mortal sins can be set into one; to hurt someone for personal benefit.That`s why, I admire every altruistic effort.
We also remember from the recent history the rise of the Communist dictatorship of 20th century, which completely devastated the original idea of philosopher Karl Marx. It is strange that Jesus and Marx are as a matter of fact on the same side of the medal, while their followers are placed on the other (with worthy exceptions). If they had been contemporaries, they would have most likely written some kind of Social Gospel together.
Faith in the world of social welfare and in the universal force of creation (called superforce, a theoretical force that exists in a singularity, from which, from the moment of its creation, four basic physical forces are generated) is unique and represents the essence of some better future where the sole purpose of science, art and religion is to serve the mankind. Knowledge of true nature of the Great Architect is equaly far away from you, the pope and me. Faith and religion are not necesserily two members of the same club. In a scenario in absence of which there is no future, everything has to take its place eventually. Alexander’s dream lives.
