From: GEVANS613-AT-aol.com Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 10:40:26 EDT Subject: What Remains Indeed? In a message dated 27/06/2003 14:29:58 GMT Daylight Time, R.B.M.deBakker-AT-uva.nl writes White-haired old Sage: o yes, before i forget: God is dead - Nietzsche C: class Student of inferior intelligence: Nietzsche is dead - God. White-haired old Sage: Europe has 2 origins: Greek and Judaeo-christian - everyone C: class Student of inferior intelligence: What about its Indo-European origins - what happened to them? Are their Gods dead too? Someone said that our Gods were just renamed retreads of their Gods - is that true? White-haired old Sage: Again (for C students): It's the *christian* god that is dead. C: class Student of inferior intelligence: Did he commit suicide, was he murdered, or did he just fade away out of sheer disinterest and neglect? Anyway, how could something die that was never alive? White-haired old Sage: What remains? C: class Student of inferior intelligence: McDonalds? The Reverend Bomber Blair? The tulips of Amsterdam? Die Industrie Heidegger? Tudor with a chair growing out of his head? Crowley's copralites? The Jewish God of the Golden Goad still directorially instructs the Jews to regain their ancestral homeland, so presumably he must be alive and kicking? But I thought that the God of the Jews WAS the Christian God too - [Yahweh = Jehovah geddit?] or maybe you think it is only the Christian part of his body that is putrefied, like he has had some sort of an aposiopesis-type apoplexy or a stroke in which one half of the body doesn't work aaaaaaaand the left side of the mouth hangs down? Have the Christianised arteries closed down, leaving what's left as some sort of Elephant Man type God - half Corblimey - half dangling offal? Is this what thou preacheth O wise White-haired old Sage of the tulip fields? Hey teach! Do you mean perhaps that Zeus is still alive? Grrreat!! Must book me a ticket to Greece pronto - they've got a tourist chair-lift to the top of mount Olympus now. [500 drachma, which includes free ambrosia and nectar thrown in as part of the deal] Let's party with the Gods... I really fancy Zeus' missus, what's er' name now... the dark haired one with the big boobs...you can have the one with the golden apple?
