Streets of Ashkelon. New Polish
So I looked at the beatification of John Paul II. You could say that the Church, such a saint ... On the other hand, the hunt for Bin Laden. Not happy again I think I went through, that the greatest evil in the world stems directly from any religion ...
reader Since I have already read 16 books. Yes It makes it much easier to read. Now I'm finishing the series with Harrison Steel Rat. At the end I left a short story collection "The Golden Years Stainless Steel Rat."
There is a story of "Streets of Ashkelon." It tells of a planet. Indigenous Peoples are human beings, but from centuries ago, many centuries. Without both the accretions of civilization, as well as mental. They took life exactly as it is. Yes meant yes, no and no. Do not know the lies. Assume that others will also. So they took seriously every word that someone spoke.
on this planet was a dealer-broker. Buying their products, sell their technology. But mentally he felt for them in some way responsible. At one point on the planet has landed a missionary. Merchant was against the crusade. He did not want these men infecting a missionary faith. However, this request did not listen.
aborigines have read these wise books and read from the missionary. Finally decided that they want to know how it really is. The missionary claimed that God exists. Merchant not. Invented a way. If God really exists, then let them prove it. Indeed, many miracles have been recorded in the Bible. God did miracles of a total trivial reasons, such as the transformation of water into wine, so the more he should do a miracle in this situation. What miracle? And what is the most important miracle in the Bible? Resurrection ... So they killed the monk and began to wait for a miracle. This did not come.
story ends like this:
So we will not be saved? Do not become sinless?
- You were clean - Garth said, half laughing and crying. - And this is just najpaskudniejsze throughout this case. You were blameless, without sin, and now you ...
- murderers - Itin said, and the water dripped down after it abandoned head and drifting away into the darkness.
Faith is the worst evil that humans have ever managed to come up with ...
