Stupid
You know, sometimes the stupidity of some people really surprises me, and believe me I work in IT we deal with a lot of stupid. Once more I was happily reading the news, when an overall theme became apparent. The lines of reality and fiction have become blurred! They must have done because some people seriously can’t tell the difference! That’s right just like the bible, Golden Compass is first and foremost a work of fiction.Golden Compass is the first of a series of novels written by Pillip Pullman.
Hates God (apparently)
Mr. Pullman may not exactly be an atheist (unlike me) and far be it for me to point out differences, but much like reality and fiction, hate and a lack of belief are incontrovertibly different. Hate denotes belief and atheists do not believe.
It’s rather difficult to hate something that quite simply doesn’t exist. Therefore Mr. Pullman is something else.
Fiction
But I digress as it’s very hard to have a debate with religious people; a group of people who accepted a book (most of which was written up to 100 years after the alleged events) as a concrete fact. I guess religious types understand the power of a fiction having followed one for many, many years, and there-in lies the problem.
When presented with facts and scientific data it takes quite a nerve to on the one hand sit in front of and use a computer (delivered via the scientific and technological revolution) ; whilst on the other hand using it to decry scientific discovery as something that merely tests faith.
You will fictionalise fact, and instead treat a fiction as fact. No wonder religion has a tough time determining what is real and what isn’t. But as always I’m a solutions man I’ll give you all my top 10 reality and unreality list.
