After reading MJ Rosenberg’s article Congress to Palestinians: Drop Dead, I decided to apologize. My apology is not to anyone alive or to those who come on to DKos to expose their ignorance. My apology is not to you because you deserve no such apology from me – no matter how much you shout and rave and connive and spew your bile.
I categorically offer my apology to Eve, the mother of all mothers, the mother of Israel! I apologize to her because the world refuses to give her enough credits for her critical invention that changed the world.
Just like Simpson the Nazirite is remembered today as the first suicide bomber, Eve is recorded in my book as the first philosopher, the first scientist, and the first rational thinker.
Eve was explicitly commanded by God of Israel not to eat what most of us in America today love to eat. Eve complied until Satan appeared.
Satan said to Eve, “God is a self-interested liar. If God is not a liar, then the Redeemer Jesus and the Suicide Bomber Simpson the Nazirite would not be necessary”.
After rational and skeptical discussions and arguments with Satan, Eve decided to experiment with the claims of Satan.
Satan had insisted that if Eve ate the type of apple that Schwarzenegger enjoyed with his voluptuous mistresses, nothing would happen – the world would not end and nobody would die.
Eve ate. It was gooooood! And she did not die, and her source of ignorance was exposed. (Read here: Genesis 3:1-7)
Now enters a rancorous God of Israel!
Before Eve’s scientific exploration, this God of Israel had pretended to be peaceful, loving, caring, just, and sympathetic to the plight of man. After Eve’s exposure to scientific arguments and psychoanalysis and application of reason, this God’s REAL character, intensions, and motivations emerged. To make the matter worse, this God was exposed by Satan, the enemy of paradise.
The God exploded, “Who told you that you were naked and ignorant and without freedom to think your own thoughts, or to consider your own self-interests? (Genesis 3: 12).”
This God had preferred that Eve remained in a state of eternal ignorance similar to the state the Egyptian women under Mubarak, the agent of peace and progress for these people!
On the other hand, Satan preferred arguments and discussions, freely examined and aired and exposed to humankind.
For whatever reason known to this God of Israel, he preferred ignorance, lies, injustice, and rapine. He preferred to fabricate lies and propaganda with which to deceive you as the only appropriate pretext to whatever he seeks from you. Was it not Immanuel Kant who said that respect for human dignity is the cornerstone of morality and leadership because fairness, justice, promise-keeping, and truth-telling depend on respect for the individual?
It is clear then that this God of Old Testament preferred a slave in Eve rather than a free-thinker, so he lied to her. He disrespected her womanhood.
He looked at Eve and saw a potential source of exploitation and rapine for personal aggrandizement. But Satan looked at Eve and saw a source of beauty and freedom and pleasure and knowledge.
Who is the greatest enemy of womankind – this rancorous thug and his “angels” or Satan?
Obviously, Eve considered the two alternative viewpoints and opinions available to her. She chose to think, not through any a priori method from our rancorous and self-interested buffoons but through the application of the scientific method. I put this in plural terms because there were/are many of them, lying in wait to devour, to reap where they did not sow:
“See, the woman has become like one of us, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3: 22).”
Eve had no such ulterior motives. Rather, she looked at the two viewpoints presented to her. Based on the information gathered through her experimentation and observation, Eve decided, freely and rationally.
Without her free choice, the Age of Reason, the Renaissance, and the Scientific Revolution would not have occurred. Therefore, next time you log into your DKos account or hop into an Apache Helicopter, remember that Eve laid the foundation for the technology you use today to run your mouths as over-bloated infants.
Remember that if Eve did not think for herself, you would not be here splitting atoms and lying to the American people. In fact, America would not even exist because the likes of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and other American ancestors who appropriated Eve’s questioning and experimental spirit to challenge the awesome power of England would not have known how to proceed in discovering the elements of whatever democracy and freedom and liberty you blabber about.
Take this with you: If this God of Israel did not intentionally lie and deceive Eve and “us”, Satan would not be necessary, and my apology to Eve would not be necessary either. My apology is in order here because you meant no good for your hosts or for your descendants worldwide.
