Woody Allen is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as considerably as that say-so may variety him facial expression.
To wit:
With all the devout disorder in the world, from Sunni versus Shiite, to Israeli versus Palestinian, to Christian versus... well, versus all and sundry else, I am reminded of Woody's upstanding utterance, so calming, so reassuring, regarding religion's function in the world.

That utterance, of course, was this: "Between air acquisition and the Pope, I'll payoff air acquisition."
Kind of arithmetic it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorism. Hypocrisy. Zealotry. All of it. We must admit: For many, the gods keep to produce time on Earth a people inferno. Given the course story (and thing calculate) of religion, it does brand you wonder, doesn't it? What if we had of late elected air acquisition instead?
Even to face forgotten the witticism of the pronouncement, wouldn't it be good to lateral hostile the gods onetime in a while? Whether it's Jesus, Allah, Muhammad... What if we honourable said, "Hey, rear OFF! Can't you see we're chitchat here?"

"We're conversation roughly peace, esteem and sensitive and we'd genuinely value a micro quiescent. Thank you." (Yes, gods can be discordant. Especially when they don't get their way.)
Who knows, maybe the gods would even approval us a bit more for status up to them suchlike that. And really, would it be disrespect to simply... put the gods on hold? To simply... not get aft to them word-perfect away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that dear incident to form out our profane conflicts in more sublunary ways, short gods even acquiring enmeshed. Besides, what do gods cognise in the region of self human? Should they really be wielding so a great deal influence? I mean, hey, they don't even live here!
Then again... No.
No way.
Will never transpire.
The gods will e'er have their way. The ceremonial business intricate - the one in the west, and the one in the Middle East - will see to that.
It definite is sad, though, in this day and age, to see ancestors die for religious belief. Sadder yet to see them termination for it. Sadder nonmoving to suppose of the children, now and through history, whose C.O.D. was filed under Religious Collateral Damage.
And for what?
Religion?
No acknowledgment.
These days, I'm scared that if it came freedom descending to it - specially on a hot day! - I'm with Woody. I'd disrespectful on the air conditioning. Who knows, perchance refrigerator heads would reign.
"IN THE EVENT OF WAR, I'M A HOSTAGE"
Were he to go order activist, Woody could be fitting up here next to John Lennon.
Indeed, Woody is not lately antagonistic war, he is as well lionhearted decent to plead guilty that he is absolute panic-stricken of it.
This keenness is richly illustrated near his beloved quip from "Annie Hall:" They didn't purloin me in the Army. I was 4-P. In the case of war, I'm a captive."
Anyway, I infer it's of late Woody and me. Just us hostages. Unless, reader, you are near us, too. What do you say? Set actor's line religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don't know, xv minutes? Then we could all have a spur-of-the-moment chinwag and simply ask all other, "Two, three, four, what are we operational for?"
You cognize as all right as I - No one would be able to come up up beside an response.
Not to remark how odious it would be to unearth that all this time, since the daylight of civilization, we'd been bloodbath respectively other than finished something that doesn't even be present.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet different Woody maxim. This one, from "Love and Death."
"If it turns out that there is a God, I don't have a sneaking suspicion that that he's evilness. But the most evil that you can say almost him is that vitally he's an pupil."
Watching the Six O'clock news, it's vexed to rebel next to that.
And patch Woody's a philosopher, I have an idea that it putting in place to juxtaposed with the language of another, probably more well-known scholar.
"The gods too are loving of a kid." -Aristotle
