HUMOROUS INSIGHT Using humor to understand the truth. By: David K. Every (C) 1997 - All Rights Reserved The following table about religious truths is a a humorous poke at the religions of the world. However, even though it is humor, it has deeper meanings and leads to deeper understanding. The primary difference among these views is their perception, not the reality. We all perceive the same thing "Shit Happens" in our own way. "Shit happens" then becomes a universal truth, and everything else is just the way we express it. We must strive to understand others perceptions and expressions, if only to help us understand better our own perceptions. If we can understand others views, we may find common ground making each others views much more tolerable. TAOISM Shit Happens CONFUCIANISM Confucius say "Shit Happens" BUDDHISM If shit happens, it is not really shit. ZEN BUDDHISM What is the sound of shit happening? PROTESTANTISM Let shit happen to someone else. CATHOLICISM If shit happens, you deserve it. Rastafarianism Can you smoke this shit? Johovah's Witnesses Shit is coming. HINDUISM This shit has happened before. SHINTOISM Shit happens spiritually and naturally. ISLAM If shit happens it is the Will of Allah. JUDAISM Why does shit always happen to us? To the optimist a glass is half full. To the pessimist a glass is half empty. To the realist it is half a glass of water. To an economist you need a smaller glass. To a scientist you need more water. To a chemist it is merely Crystallized Silica and with H20. Know what you are; and try to understand the others point of views. Created: 11/01/97 Updated: 11/09/02 Top of page Top of Section Home
