INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY.

He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD Good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor : Is GOD ALL – POWERFUL ?

Student : Yes.

Professor : My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

 

( Student is silent )

 

Professor : You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?

Student : Yes.

Professor : Is Satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor : Where does Satan come from ?

Student : From . . . GOD . . .

Professor : That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?

Student : Yes.

Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor : So who created evil ?

 

(Student does not answer)

 

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor : So, who Created them ?

 

( Student has no answer )

 

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, or Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical,Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.

Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?

Professor : Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?

Professor : Yes.

Student : No sir. There isn’t.

 

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

 

Student : Sir, you can have lots of Heat, even more Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don’t have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

 

( There is Pin – Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

 

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?

Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn’t Darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light, But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, Darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.

Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

 

( The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going )

 

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this Process is an On – Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

 

( The Class is in Uproar )

 

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor’s Brain?

 

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

 

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

 

(The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable)

 

Professor : I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . .

 

The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.

That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

It turned out later that the student was Albert Einstein.

Magbisaya ko. Wa’y magbuot. Gikapoy nako ug suwat ug Iningles. Magsakit akong utok usahay. Kapoy. Kapoy. Kapoy. Maayo ni kay dili nako kinahanglan pa nga mag-huna-huna. Dili na kinahanglang paninduton ang gipang-istorya. Tinuod, kapoy ug Iningles permi uy. Kamo kuno beh? Dah!

Tungod kay dili mapugngan ang kakapoy sa trabaho, dili malikayan nga magbuhat ko ug lain para mawala ang kalaay sa trabaho. Usahay, inig kahuman sa trabaho, moderetso ko sa malls [la ko kahibaw sa bisaya ani] or sa internetan para magduwa sa mga paborito nako nga online games. Sa edad nako nga 20, dili pa nako mabiyaan ang mga gikahiligan nako nga makapalingaw kanako.

Sa kaniadtong bata pako, hilig kaayo ko ug duwa kauban sa akong mga amigo ug amiga. Katong mag-sag-ob pa mi ug tubig, inig uli, magduwa dayon mi ug abat-abat, sung-sung, bitok-bitok, enter-enter, tumba lata, ug syatong. Bahala namu ug wa mo kaila anang mga duwaa. Basta kay mao jud na among mga duwaon sauna. Unya, kung mag-uwan, mangaligo dayon mi sa sapa. Bahala ug maligo mi kauban sa kabaw sa lunangan. Hugawan kaayo mi sa? Ambot lang jud uy. Basta bata, malingaw na gani, wa ju’y pilion. Mag-tumbling-tumbling dayon mi sa ka-mura-han ug mga cogon. Bahala ug mangatol mi inig ka human. Ganahan kaayo mi atong mga panahona.

Usa usab sa mga dili nako hikalimtan mao ang pagpanguha namo ug bayabas. Mangawat mi ug mangga. Unya, mangita mi ug kaka [damang, spider] inig ka gabii kay magbalay mana sila basta gabii. Sa kadaghan sa among mga kabuang sauna, dili nako kaya nga wad-on ang tanan. Mahinumduman pa gani nako nga nahulog ko sa tabay. Dayon nahulog pud ko sa kahoy sa kamnsilis [kamanchili] ug tambis. Adto pud dayon mi sa bakilid, ‘nya mosakay ug palwa sa lubi unya magpa-didit dayon sa bakilid. Bahala gud ug mangagisi ang among mga porol. Magdala nalang mi daan ug latigo inig uli kay sigurado naman mi nga bunalan jud mi. Unya, naa pajud tong higayon nga nituyok ang kasing [trumpo, top] sa akong agtang. Hastang hadloka sa akong lola kay hapit naporma ug krus ang samad. Kay kung nahimu pa kuno tong krus, mamatay kuno ko. Ambot lang kaha kung tinuod ba.

Kani laging magpuyo ta sa bukid nga bahin sa sugbo, layo kaayo mi sa sibilisasyon. Malipay intawn mi kung makakita ug damtrak [dumptruck] ug bulldozer. Kay kini nagtimaan nga naa nay karsada sa among dapit. Kusog kaayo mi mokapyot sa damtrak sauna. Bahalag nag-dagan.

Dugay pajud mi natauran ug kuryente sauna. Mag-lamparilya pa tawn mi. Unya, among radyo kay Abigon. Ambot kung kaila ba mo ana. Basta, kahoy nga radyo nga naay hulagway sa artista sauna. Makatawa nalang ko mag-huna-huna. Pag-abot sa kuryente, lipay tawn kaayo mi kay makaila na jud tawn mi ug ploresen [fluorescent lamp]. Hayag na tawn among kaugmaon, ug dili na jud tawn maanuusan ang among mga ilong ug kilay.

Hayyyzzz. Kaanindot hinumduman sa mga kalipay niadtong panahona. Dili nako ig-sapayan ang kakapoy kay ang mga katawa niadtong bata pa ‘ko, dili kabayran ug kwarta.

I tenk u, bow.

Before I go.

He looks at her from afar. She’s with her friends. He sees her smile. Then, a silent tear forms in his eyes. And, he said to himself,

“How could I ever let you go?”

Then, he hears a voice,

“Baby, let’s go.”

He turns around and sees his present girlfriend. He wipes his tear. Then, they walk away.

Then, she looks at him. She sees him with his present girlfriend. She sees him with smile. Then, a tear falls from her eyes. And, she said to herself,

“Why did you ever let me go?”

 

The saddest part of letting go is the moment you stepped backward, turned, and walked away; waiting for a shout – calling your name; calling you back – that would never happen. Then, you’re left with tears involuntarily falling from your eyes, and the realization that that person is really never gonna run after you.

Excerpt from “A Warm Cup”:

I nod, looking at the way you hesitate to take my hand, resting so near yours. I know you’re already gone. “I will make it easy for both of us,” I tell myself. I will forget the feel of your hands on my skin. I will smile and tell you I’m happy for you because that’s what you want to hear, and that’s what I want to believe. I will not hope you will be back soon, nor say that I wish I were going with you. Instead, I will keep in mind that there is nothing between us anymore. It’s just the the coffee is too warm, and I am so cold.”

Go on. Move on, my friend. When you find a reason to walk away, never look back. Just keep on walking even if the destination is not clear. It’s better to get lost moving on, than being stranded and broken after all.

I hate this post! 😡

Days of The Dead Living

April 18, 2008

I am a walking zombie, a dead meat. The difference is that a zombie is a dead person brought to life. Me? I am a living person brought to death. But, we look the same – someone who had been to hell and was sent back to earth to feed on human flesh.

I haven’t had sleep for the past 24 hours. And the last time I had a spoonful of rice was yesterday’s lunch. Oh, isn’t that great? Just an ordinary wakeful nights and hungry days. Sometimes I just want to be a vampire, so I don’t feel guilty of not being able to sleep at night. So it won’t be sinful, staring at clocks and waiting for it to slap me that it’s already 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning.

That’s why I hate seeing friends. I just can’t refuse their alluring invitations to play DotA, or Silkroad Online. I just can’t turn down their offers to compete and have fun in mIRC’s trivia channels. And I just can’t say no when they ask to level up our Friendster accounts.

Now, I’m doomed. Something’s running inside my stomach, and I feel like  puking my innards. I feel like I’m drunk without even licking a drop of alcoholic drink. I felt dizzy, and the world just can’t stop turning. The cup of coffee I had this morning just can’t stop my eyelids from closing. So, if any of you could teach me the art of sleeping with eyes open, then we should start the session. Now! Or do you know the best stimulant besides coffee, dark chocolates, or coke, because they aren’t just as effective as caffeine?

By the way, it’s good to be back after two weeks.
