Who's smarter, God or the Devil?

As I was reading a book* last night about "meritocracy" (who's
smarter), I said to myself, "Hey wait a minute, Satan is smarter than
God. He should rule the world!" And indeed he does. Whoever runs the
world must be smarter than the competition.

And we all know how competitive the Heavens are. It seems a battle
between "good & evil," but we know how uncertain that is. I think the
one with the most riches tend to rule and that places the Devil on the
top spot.

What do you think? This is an amazing topic for philosophers and
anyone seeking the truth. Christians are invited though.

We must assume that such an evil person would be a good impersonator.
In other words, he would profess to be a Christian while acting evil.

Such an easy decision for Christians: Do not eat from the Tree of
Knowledge because God knows everything.

But didn't Satan outsmart God at the Garden of Eden? That proves my
point.

That's a funny idea since ALL the Jews don't fit in the State of
Israel.

God made that promise to Abraham (if don't remember wrong) but they
were few back then. Perhaps that's why they are encroaching on the
occupied territories.

"Screwed up" means he got away with crime. God never caught up with
him and instead punished Humanity for it.

What an "evil plan" Satan hatched there.

Wait, wait, it helps to translate their imaginary characters with
people in flesh and bone.

If the Devil is running the world as they claim, it must be doing so
through "agents." I'd imagine Castro is one. At the same time he's
trying to deliver the same communism that God promises in Heaven! I
mean the main features of communism being "ONE RULER" and "EVERYBODY
THE SAME."

Sorry, it doesn't make sense.

Are you admitting than Castro is trying to impose Heaven or Earth, but
failing because we are human?

OK, just tell me how perfect Heaven is, and why you think human beings
--or souls-- will be any better? Will God rule by fear or allegiance
of an inner circle --namely the hardcore Christians. I have Rush
Limbaugh in mind but it could be GW Bush, the Pope or the local
preachers who enforce God's laws.

Oh well, say for ignoring climate change while promoting

Right, the end of the species, nothing else.

Well, we have as much right to live here as monkeys and cockroaches.
At least they have the common sense not to overpopulate an area with,
say, 100 roaches per square foot.

Nothing is real therefore nothing matters.

Are our relatives, our community "real," or just a figment of our
imagination?

Now the big question, are YOU real?

(That's the sort of logical traps Buddhists fall into --unless they
also follow the Wisdom of the Jungle I humbly represent. We deal with
reality --"we" is my dogs and I)

It seems all religions "borrow" from older religions, but monotheism

Well the overpopulation effect is multiplied when droughts and plagues
affect the crops (as it will surely be the case with climate change)
and then we'll have famines, war and more immigration to the rich
world, which is already burdened.

Then Jesus will appear out of the blue... ;)

Just because they support the STATUS QUO, and this places us on a
crash course. Yes, they prefer war over smart policies that make this
planet sustainable. It's big things and small things that could make
this world more livable instead of being in a perpetual rat race to
nowhere.

The simple act of riding a bike (or walking) has become a
revolutionary act. I encourage everyone to read the book.

Funny thing is America pollutes and Holland goes underwater.

Well, Holland is a bicyclist's paradise, probably the only one in the
civilized world.

Right. You know in the latest Time Magazine comes an article about the
Chicago Mayor, a DEMOCRAT, and how he's taking a TOUGH stand on crime
and failing schools, and guess, what both the LEFT and the RIGHT
attack him for what he's doing. He's NOT taking the easy path his
predecessors took --which got them reelected everytime-- but he says
he's doing whatever is necessary to fix Chicago.

It's similar to NYC, which has managed to clean up the city and create
a sophisticated lifestyle --you may say European-- and it may serve as
a metaphor for America. Again, the mayor --another DEMOCRAT-- is
attacked from the left and the right, which perhaps is the fate of
those who want to fix things up. Democracy is more than bullshit and
whatever people wants to hear.

Now I'd like to hear where the Conservatives has made at least a
similar effort, or all they do is retired behind the safety and
isolation of gated communities?

Well, wake up to reality, people can not live like that. It goes
against human nature.

But that's only my humble yet sophisticated opinion.

A beer, I like that idea!

I shall have a beer on my way back in my urban hiking adventure. I'm
overlooking the beach, I can take a plunge, no need to fight mad
drivers.

And I carry 20 lbs on my backpack, so I'm ready for anything. But I
rather relax. I promise to ponder about the big questions, such as why
people hang on to the rat race. The SUV, the beachfront apartment are
not worth so much evil. People must come out and take a walk or ride a
bike in their communities, or else you only got gated communities.

Let's embrace revolution and have a beer!

Exactly, that's the point. A hardcore democrat is coming to town with
the determination to change things. It's not what wins votes but it's
what can make Chicago a liveable city like NYC.

Well, letting things fall apart would be sad. All the "rust belt" is
sad.

Our beloved elites sent the jobs to China and now they are gathering
rust, so to speak. NYC city though --being a liberal bastion-- did
something smart:

They made the old decaying city liveable again. Of course, the
conservatives would never do something like that because they hate
people. Right?

And you forget frisking. Guess what, crime is way down. I know the
extreme left and right are bitching about it, but people are happy.
I'd say they are even more happy now with the bike sharing program.
Notice NO PUBLIC MONEY! Everybody happy, right?

I wonder if the Right has ever put together a similar Utopia. Well,
they are not friendly, but you know, whatever Utopia. Gated
Communities?

Well, I'm just saying that the dog-eat-dog is neither practical nor
based on fact.

Part of human nature is socialization and play. Then a new philosophy
is needed to replace the myth. Do we include the elites in the new
philosophy? Perhaps they believe in a dog-eat-dog world.

And guess what, they are our masters.

Why the dogs must be happy with the food I feed them?

Is it quality or price? To be honest I look for both. No artificial
coloring is needed.

Are our masters aware of our needs? Deep, deep question.

No matter what you country is, no matter what your pedigree is (if you
are a dog), we all have an issue with the master. I'm a revolutionary
monkey!

Imagine we are all fed this food loaded with sugar and we don't even
have a chance to roam free and burn those calories. Yes, the very act
of walking or riding a bike becomes a revolutionary act, so we got
nothing to lose but our chain.

Anyway when our masters hear this, we may be able to get better food.

One interesting issue is what enlightenment should include. I think it
must include:

1- FRUGALITY --never scarcity,

2- SPACE --to walk or ride a bike,

3- GOOD FOOD --tax junk and subsidize healthy food,

4- GREEN AREAS --no trash lying all over the place,

5- SAFETY --nobody should live in fear to come out.

Spirituality is also part of any solution, not to be confused with
religion.
