To My Challenge: Magic Pills II

My friends, you are really very helpful in all my researches and innovations! Thanks to your comments, I gave up the idea of inventing the pills preventing us from being ourselves. But I have come up with another invention that seems to be useful for the humanity in gereral and for each of us in particular.

My new invention is the medicine for bigotry.

Well, I don't mean our believes, persuasions, customs, traditions, etc. I mean fanatism, zealotry of any kind that makes people deaf, blind, narrow-minded, senseless, agressive and much more whether we mean politics, religion, traditions or anything else.

Just recall some history! How much blood was shed in the name of imaginary “true” values and “right” ideas! How many people were killed and executed because they disagreed! How many prominent scholars were burnt alive because they affirmed the Earth rotates and goes round the Sun! American president Abraham Lincoln was assassinated because he wanted all American people to have the same rights. John Kennedy was assassinated as he wanted to release the strain between the West and the Soviet block! Just think about our past! Why to make the mistakes of our ancestors again?

So, my pills include the components stimulating common sense, knowledge and desire to learn more, open-mindedness and tolerance as well as some anti-aggressive depressant and some tranquilizer for you to feel peace of you mind.

I think humanity as well as many of us including me needs such pills to get sober and to be ready to listen to others. As to me, I am ready, but if I am the only one who takes my magic pills, I will hear you all but will remain unheard!

  • Can I have one pill? please. I really need it. ) 

  • Dear Daughter, sure, I belive in the evolution theory, the relativety theory, the perodic table and much more

  • I don’t believe in evolution theory Sir, you do. 

  • Dear Daughter, I can't understand such a poin of view, either. If we believe in the evolution theory, we can't believe in the creation of the word during 6 days, we can't believe that a woman was created from the man's rib. If we know human anatomy, we can't believe in the other life and so on. 

  • Hmmm... I don't understand how it can't be possible to believe in Science and God at the same, whereas Science proves everything about God existence. Aside from this, I didn't get how both can be contradictory of each other.

  • Great, you are already employed! Hahaha!

  • Danny...

    firstly you must give them pills called "sincerity" then they will take your anti bigotry pills :D I can be a part of your team, you see?
  • Dear Luci, the problem is that those who really need them will never agree to take them. It is much better to be deaf and blind!

  • Dear Daughter, this discussion is really endless as religion gave birth to science many centuries ago, but later on, SCIENCE became a disobedient independent child and started developing on its own. So, I will tell you about one friend of mine who is a Ph.D and medical doctor but who visits a church from time to time. He is not really religious, but....he is not an atheist. Once I asked him:"Look, you teach natural science, you teach your students evolution theory, anatomy, fundamental laws of physics and chemistry, you even go to the dissecting room with them and teach them what parts of body and what organs they can delete without making any harm to a patient. Do you really think a woman was created from a men's rib or we all were created by unknown  spirit? So, what about your god?" And he replied:"You see, I am sure that everthing I teach my students  is true. Both men and women are the result of evolution but if there is god, he might have helped at the very beginning to make our lives brighter!" Can you accept such a point of view?

  • Danny,

    I won't buy your pills.. becauseeee I DON'T NEED THEM :D you know pretty well that I am awesome and all above described charscteristic features (your pills would give me) are part of my perfect personality :p Actually, the problem is that people will rarely admit they need your pills! Haha... gotcha!
