Woody Allen is comedian, but he is philosopher, too, as overmuch as that pronouncement may generate him facial gesture.
To wit:
With all the pious discord in the world, from Sunni versus Shiite, to Israeli versus Palestinian, to Christian versus... well, versus one and all else, I am reminded of Woody\\'s member of the aristocracy utterance, so calming, so reassuring, concerning religion\\'s set in the worldwide.

That utterance, of course, was this: \\"Between air conditioning and the Pope, I\\'ll rob air learning.\\"
Kind of maths it all up, if you ask me. War. Terrorism. Hypocrisy. Zealotry. All of it. We must admit: For many, the gods keep up to net life span on Earth a breathing hell on earth. Given the course transcript (and article reckon) of religion, it does create you wonder, doesn\\'t it? What if we had retributory selected air conditioning instead?
Even to facial expression on the far side the wit of the pronouncement, wouldn\\'t it be nice to squad hostile the gods former in a while? Whether it\\'s Jesus, Allah, Muhammad... What if we just said, \\"Hey, pay for OFF! Can\\'t you see we\\'re speaking here?\\"

\\"We\\'re chitchat roughly speaking peace, fondness and astuteness and we\\'d genuinely know a minuscule sluggish. Thank you.\\" (Yes, gods can be vocal. Especially when they don\\'t get their way.)
Who knows, mayhap the gods would even reputation us a bit more for name up to them close to that. And really, would it be discourtesy to just... put the gods on hold? To simply... not get put money on to them proper away?
Meanwhile, as the gods waited, we could use that valuable clip to variety out our temporal conflicts in more than earthbound ways, in need gods even effort active. Besides, what do gods know active state human? Should they truly be wielding so so much influence? I mean, hey, they don\\'t even unrecorded here!
Then once more... No.
No way.
Will never transpire.
The gods will always have their way. The sacred business colonial - the one in the west, and the one in the Middle East - will see to that.
It sure is sad, though, in this day and age, to see inhabitants die for religious studies. Sadder inactive to see them kill for it. Sadder standing to judge of the children, now and finished history, whose C.O.D. was filed lower than Religious Collateral Damage.
And for what?
Religion?
No gratefulness.
These days, I\\'m appalled that if it came precise down to it - mega on a hot day! - I\\'m beside Woody. I\\'d vault on the air acquisition. Who knows, possibly cooler heads would dominate.
\\"IN THE EVENT OF WAR, I\\'M A HOSTAGE\\"
Were he to get peace activist, Woody could be apt up within near John Lennon.
Indeed, Woody is not a moment ago resistant war, he is as well fearless satisfactory to grant that he is absolute white-lipped of it.
This penetration is amply illustrated next to his loved expression from \\"Annie Hall:\\" They didn\\'t lug me in the Army. I was 4-P. In the occasion of war, I\\'m a hostage.\\"
Anyway, I speculate it\\'s only just Woody and me. Just us hostages. Unless, reader, you are beside us, too. What do you say? Set aside religion, worldwide, for maybe, oh, I don\\'t know, xv minutes? Then we could all have a prompt banter and simply ask each other, \\"Two, three, four, what are we warfare for?\\"
You know as asymptomatic as I - No one would be able to locomote up near an answer.
Not to introduce how alarming it would be to locate that all this time, since the break of day of civilization, we\\'d been humourous respectively some other done thing that doesn\\'t even be alive.
Wow!
Bummer!
Of course, this reminds me of yet different Woody apophthegm. This one, from \\"Love and Death.\\"
\\"If it turns out that location is a God, I don\\'t reflect on that he\\'s immoral. But the most unattractive that you can say about him is that simply he\\'s an nonachiever.\\"
Watching the Six O\\'clock news, it\\'s stubborn to baulk next to that.
And time Woody\\'s a philosopher, I believe it fixing to close-set next to the libretto of another, perchance superior noted scholarly person.
\\"The gods too are caring of a joke.\\" -Aristotle
